292nd 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 3,110 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.2/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 62% | 0.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Peel Common Primary School
Overview
Peel Common Primary School is a newly formed primary school, having extended its age range in January 2025. The report highlights that while leadership and behaviour are strong, the quality of education, personal development, and early years provision currently require improvement as the school establishes its all-through curriculum.
Strengths
- Leaders are visible and welcoming, fostering a positive culture where pupils are greeted with "friendly smiles" and supported sensitively.
- Behaviour is good, underpinned by the motto "kind hands, kind feet and kind words," resulting in classrooms that are "calm and purposeful."
- The governing body provides "balanced support and challenge," and staff appreciate the focus on their well-being and professional development.
- Early reading foundations in the Nursery are strong, with children learning to "tune in to rhymes and songs" and enjoy stories.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with an open culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
Areas to improve
- The school must design and embed curriculums from early years through to Year 6 so that pupils’ knowledge and skills "build systematically," as current sequencing is insufficient.
- Teaching is variable and sometimes "not ambitious enough," with activities and questioning not sufficiently focused on intended learning outcomes.
- The personal development programme is in its infancy; the school must overhaul the personal, social and health education curriculum to improve pupils’ resilience and understanding of the wider world.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
