Selborne Church of England Primary School

Alton, GU34 3JA · Hampshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.1/10 Broadly average

154th of 301 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 423 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 4,045 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29

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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Art Box, Crochet Club, choir, recorders, band, and Eco meetings, alongside Multi Sports, Football, and Dance Club. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 116 pupils in a capacity of 105, meaning it is over capacity by 11. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status?
