Check the area around this school
241st of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 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 — 5.5/10 against 2,045 of them, against 4.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about St Alban's Church of England Aided Primary School
Overview
Pupils thrive in a "warm, ambitious and increasingly successful school" where they feel "safe, valued and well supported." The report highlights a "well-constructed" personal development programme and strong pastoral care, noting that pupils behave with "integrity" and "respect." While overall achievement meets expected standards, the curriculum requires greater consistency in teaching writing and subject-specific knowledge.
Strengths
- The personal development programme is a "dynamic and responsive" strength, equipping pupils with essential knowledge for modern life and fostering strong community cohesion.
- Pupils demonstrate "good attitudes to learning" in a "calm and respectful" environment where bullying is "exceptionally rare."
- Leaders provide "well-targeted support" for vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils, ensuring they participate fully and achieve well.
- Staff are "skilled" in mathematics and reading, using effective checks to address errors quickly and support pupil progress.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the writing curriculum is "consistently high quality" and taught well across all subjects, addressing issues with pencil grip and letter formation.
- Teachers need to make more effective decisions about key knowledge in certain subjects, ensuring it is taught with "rigour and precision."
- Leaders at all levels should further develop their skills to contribute effectively to improving provision, particularly as many are new to their roles.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
