Springhill Catholic Primary School
Southampton, SO15 2HW · Southampton · primary school
1st of 45 primary schools in Southampton we can score, 55 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 — 9.8/10 against 4,284 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 95.0 · 99 | 40% | 4.02 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 34% | 3.29 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.36 |
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, 95.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 21.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2022. 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 (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access computer coding, languages, film making, and cookery clubs. Sports include football, tennis, basketball, gymnastics, taekwondo, and cricket. Arts and music offer recorders, ukulele, rock band, KS1 and KS2 choirs, TPA, and ballet. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 653 pupils in a building with 630 places, meaning it is over capacity by 23. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for 23 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not attend the after-school club? How has the Outstanding rating from 2022 been maintained in recent years?
