Robert May's School
Hook, RG29 1NA · Hampshire · secondary school
24th of 67 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score, 69 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 826 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 5.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 51.8 · 68 | 30% | 2.05 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.06 · 46 | 25% | 1.14 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.3 · 63 | 10% | 0.63 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 51.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.06 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 5.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Model United Nations and Escape Room clubs, climb, and perform in Hadestown: Teen Edition and Oliver!. Trips include a Year 8 Battlefields visit, a Year 10 Climbing Trip to the Peak District, and a Year 10 Silver DofE Practice Walk. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1319 pupils in a capacity of 1350, leaving 31 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is offered to students aiming for higher attainment in English and maths? How does the after-school club operate for students with late finishes?
