St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, Andover

Andover, SP10 3PF · Hampshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
4.1/10 Broadly average

200th 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 2,937 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 56.0 · 30 40% 1.19
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.

Getting in. The school has 215 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 5. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What are the specific entry requirements for the competitive places? How does the school plan to improve attainment relative to similar-intake schools?
