Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
3.5/10 Broadly average

229th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.2/10 against 1,424 of them, against 2.6/10 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 55.0 · 28 40% 1.10
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 2.0 · 24 25% 0.60

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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a building with 184 places, meaning it is over capacity by 35. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How has the teaching approach changed since the 2022 inspection?
