Check the area around this school
197th 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 4,060 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Queen's Inclosure Primary School
Overview
Queen’s Inclosure Primary School is described as an “inspiring and inclusive place to learn” where pupils benefit from high standards and a rich curriculum. The inspection confirms that the school continues to be a good school, with pupils demonstrating exemplary behaviour and a strong sense of safety within the community.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is “exemplary,” underpinned by high expectations and consistent adherence to the ‘CARE’ code, which fosters respect and kindness.
- The curriculum is “ambitious for all,” with knowledge ordered sensibly to support deep understanding, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Reading is a high priority, with phonics taught very well from Reception, ensuring pupils learn to read with “increasing accuracy and fluency.”
- Personal development is extensive, offering pupils opportunities to debate big questions, take on roles of responsibility, and learn online safety through ‘SMART’ strategies.
- Staff workload is carefully managed, allowing teachers to focus on improving pupils’ learning while benefiting from regular training to refresh subject knowledge.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should continue to embed planned refinements to the curriculum, as some aspects are not yet “securely and consistently embedded” across the school.
- In some subjects, pupils do not yet possess the depth of knowledge and skills intended by the ambitious curriculum, requiring further development to ensure high achievement in every subject.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
