Check the area around this school
85th 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 — 4.0/10 against 3,831 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Redlands Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that Redlands Primary School remains ‘outstanding’, though the report notes that a graded inspection might yield a lower judgement. The school is praised for its ‘genuine enthusiasm for school life’, strong community spirit, and effective focus on reading and personal development. However, the report identifies inconsistencies in curriculum planning and teaching quality across the entire school.
Strengths
- Pupils display ‘mutual respect’ and a ‘strong sense of community’, with older pupils acting as ‘excellent role models’.
- There is a ‘sharp focus on pupils’ wider development’, including a well-regarded personal, social and health education curriculum.
- Reading is a key priority; pupils are ‘well supported when learning to read’ and show a ‘passion for reading’.
- Behaviour is consistently positive, creating a ‘calm atmosphere’ where pupils understand the rules of being ‘ready, respectful and safe’.
- Systems to identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are ‘strong’.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is ‘less well developed’, leading to ‘gaps in their learning’ because vital knowledge is not clearly defined.
- There is ‘variability in how well staff implement’ support methods for pupils with SEND, meaning some cannot access learning as well as peers.
- Assessment practices in foundation subjects lack clarity, resulting in inconsistent checks on pupil understanding and unaddressed knowledge gaps.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
