Check the area around this school
190th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.5/10 against 3,450 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Anne's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School is described as a place where inclusion is highly valued and a culture of mutual respect is embedded. The report highlights that pupils achieve well within a curriculum designed to ensure no pupil is left behind, supported by a strong Catholic ethos. Overall, the school provides a good quality of education with outstanding behaviour and personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "outstanding" behaviour and attitudes, contributing to a "calm atmosphere where everyone can learn without being disturbed."
- There is a "sharp focus on ensuring that no pupil is left behind," with staff routinely checking understanding and providing appropriate support for those with special educational needs.
- A "love of reading is evident across the school," achieved through expert phonics teaching and access to engaging books matched to pupils' stages.
- Personal development is enhanced by trips, visits, and opportunities for pupils to act as junior leaders, such as the "rescue squad" which supports others at playtimes.
- The trust provides "strong oversight," ensuring effective monitoring of standards and supporting staff well-being while maintaining high expectations.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is "not as precisely defined in a few subjects as it is elsewhere," meaning pupils are not always learning as deeply as they could in these areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that everyone is well trained to follow the school’s mantra of ‘think the unthinkable’.
