Langstone Primary Academy
Portsmouth, PO3 6EZ · Portsmouth · primary school
10th of 32 primary schools in Portsmouth we can score, 46 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.4/10 against 2,489 of them, against 3.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 58.0 · 35 | 41% | 1.42 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.72 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 26% | 1.15 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School Council, School Helpers, School Librarians, Tribe Captains, Cyber Ambassadors, Real PE Leaders, Mental Health Ambassadors, and Attendance Champions, alongside a trip to Fishbourne Roman Palace.
Getting in. The school has 618 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 12 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What are the specific responsibilities of the Mental Health Ambassadors? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 12 places?
