Check the area around this school
267th 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 4,223 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Newlands Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally. The most recent inspection took place in May 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils participate in football, netball, hockey, cricket, tennis, tag rugby, dance, and gymnastics, with trips to Minstead and Calshot Activities Centre. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 173 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Newlands Primary School
Overview
Newlands Primary School is described as a "calm and nurturing" environment where pupils feel safe and are "proud to be members of their school." While new leadership has brought stability and improved curriculum design, the report states that "it is too early to see the sustained impact of their positive actions on disadvantaged pupils' outcomes." Consequently, several key areas, including achievement and teaching, are rated as needing attention.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility."
- Relationships between adults and pupils are "warm, trusting and supportive," ensuring pupils feel safe.
- Classrooms are "calm and focused places to learn," with bullying being rare and resolved quickly.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "increasingly effective," with adaptations helping pupils meet individual targets.
- Pupils are enthusiastic about learning and demonstrate "genuine respect for diversity."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure robust assessment systems identify and address learning gaps so pupils, particularly disadvantaged ones, can achieve as well as possible.
- Leaders should ensure all pupils acquire the foundational knowledge needed for the next stage of education, as gaps in knowledge and skills do not close rapidly enough.
- Leaders need to continue their approach to attendance to positively impact pupils who persistently miss school, particularly disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that safeguarding standards are met, noting that leaders have established an open culture where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed," resulting in pupils being made safer and feeling safe.
