Check the area around this school
104th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.9/10 against 4,023 of them, against 5.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 62% | 3.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 Potley Hill Primary School
Overview
Potley Hill Primary School is described as a place where pupils are “happy” and “well cared for,” with staff maintaining “high expectations” that pupils consistently meet. The inspection highlights “exemplary” behaviour and strong personal development, supported by a community ethos that encourages pupils to “dream big, aim high and make a difference.” While the quality of education and leadership are rated Good, the school demonstrates particular strength in fostering positive relationships and attendance.
Strengths
- Pupils display “exemplary” behaviour, acting as “superb role models” through buddy systems and play leadership.
- Reading is a key strength, with pupils being “confident and skilled readers” who engage in detailed text analysis.
- Recent improvements in mathematics teaching have resulted in pupils having “strong recall” and success in problem-solving.
- The school provides “highly effective strategies” to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, ensuring they achieve well.
- Staff report high morale, appreciating “wide-ranging development opportunities” and consideration for their workload.
Areas to improve
- In “a few foundation subjects,” the curriculum lacks clear identification of key knowledge, meaning pupils “do not always learn as well as they should.”
- In early years, some activities lack a “clear learning focus,” preventing children from fully consolidating and deepening their learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
