80th 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 the 1,665 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Martin's East Woodhay Church of England (Aided) Primary School
Overview
St Martin’s East Woodhay Church of England (Aided) Primary School continues to be a “good school,” offering a “nurturing and caring ethos” where pupils feel they “belong.” The inspection highlights an inclusive community with “exemplary” behaviour and a strong emphasis on developing pupils’ independence and confidence for their future lives.
Strengths
- Pupils display an “infectious love of reading” and become “confident and fluent readers” through skilled phonics teaching and tailored support.
- The “quality of provision in Reception” ensures children get a “flying start,” with systems for identifying special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) providing an “accurate understanding” of each pupil’s needs.
- Behaviour is “exemplary” due to high expectations and well-established routines, with pupils entrusted with a “wide range of leadership responsibilities.”
- Staff enjoy working at the school, and decision-making is “resolutely focused on providing rich opportunities for the pupils.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure safeguarding records include sufficient detail about actions taken, as currently “vital information could be missed.”
- The school needs to provide appropriate training, support, and monitoring for the newly redeveloped foundation subjects curriculum to ensure pupils are learning well consistently across all classes.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with comprehensive processes for safer recruitment and staff training, although some records lack the necessary detail regarding leaders’ timely actions.
