Nursling Church of England Primary School
Southampton, SO16 0XH · Hampshire · primary school
106th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.7/10 against 3,363 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Superstar Sports Club, Performing Arts Club, and the choir. Trips include *The Wizard of Oz* and Young Voices. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 195 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 15 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific activities does the Performing Arts Club offer beyond the choir? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a near-full intake?
