Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.7/10 Broadly average

218th of 301 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 423 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 4,356 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 3.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7 out of 10 among them, against 3.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Really Wild, Chess, Cook Stars, Wellbeing, and Pokemon. Sports options cover football, running, tennis, and judo. Trips visit Henley Fort, Calshot Activity Centre, and Hindleap Outdoor Activity Centre. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 176 pupils in a building with 224 places, leaving 48 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities does the Wellbeing Club offer to support student mental health? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teacher attention during lessons?
