143rd 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 the 2,153 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 5.2/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Long Sutton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Long Sutton Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy and enjoy learning across different subjects. Staff develop warm relationships with pupils, creating an environment where children feel safe and know that adults care about them. Leaders place a sharp focus on learning, helping pupils to achieve well and become responsible young people.
Strengths
- The school has developed an "ambitious curriculum" with clear expectations for what pupils need to know, taught in a "logical sequence" that builds on previous learning.
- Reading is a high priority, with staff well trained in phonics and effective systems in place to identify and support pupils who are not keeping up.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well to learn the same curriculum as their classmates, with teachers providing "effective support" and additional resources.
- Staff expectations are high for all pupils, and leaders have created a "culture of collaboration" while supporting staff with their workload.
- Pupils behave well, are "caring and considerate," and receive effective personal, social and health education to help them stay healthy and safe.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure staff have "sufficiently secure subject knowledge" in curriculum areas where it is currently not strong enough, so pupils can learn equally well across all subjects.
- The school should ensure that the knowledge pupils need to learn in all subjects is "sequenced precisely," as in a small minority of subjects, learning is not ordered clearly enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
