St Anthony's Catholic Primary School

Fareham, PO14 4RP · Hampshire · primary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
5.9/10 Broadly average

104th 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 the 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 8.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for chess, coding, art, French, and maths. Sports include dodgeball, football, netball, and gymnastics. Arts and music offerings feature the choir, street dance, and orchestra. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 215 pupils in a capacity of 222, leaving 7 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new starters?
