Check the area around this school
131st of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 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 — 8.5/10 against 3,623 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that the school is fulfilling the "expected standard" across all key areas, including achievement, attendance, curriculum, and leadership. Leaders have created an inclusive environment where pupils feel a strong "sense of belonging" and are well-supported, particularly those with additional needs. While most pupils achieve in line with national expectations by Year 6, there are specific inconsistencies in literacy skills that require further attention.
Strengths
- Attendance levels are "above the national average," with leaders effectively reducing persistent absence through "personalised approaches."
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well matched to pupils’ needs," with staff demonstrating "secure subject knowledge" and adapting teaching effectively.
- Pupils behave well, showing "positive attitudes to their learning" and fostering a "calm and positive learning environment."
- Inclusion is strong, with staff identifying needs early and providing "targeted and meaningful" support for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
- Staff care deeply for pupils, creating "respectful, trusting relationships" that help children feel safe and accepted.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the writing curriculum supports pupils to achieve "consistently well in handwriting, spelling and grammar," as current teaching is not consistently effective.
- Leaders should continue work to improve phonics outcomes so that more pupils "quickly gain the knowledge and skills they need to become successful readers."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
