Shalfleet Church of England Primary School
Newport, PO30 4NN · Isle of Wight · primary school
1st of 35 primary schools in Isle of Wight we can score, 36 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 — 8.0/10 against 4,260 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit PGL, SeaCity Museum, Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House, Blue Reef Aquarium, and Beaulieu. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 180 pupils in a capacity of 189 places, leaving 9 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without a breakfast club option? What specific support is provided for the 17.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating while operating near capacity?
