St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School
Alton, GU34 5RE · Hampshire · primary school
49th 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 4,185 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.96 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Young Voices, Drama, Yo-Chi, Helicopter stories and parachute games, KS1 Art, and EDCD (Dance) clubs. Sports include KS1 and KS2 Football, Girl's Football Club, and KS1 & KS2 Multi Sports. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 107 pupils in a capacity of 109 places, leaving just 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? How does the 7.0% higher standard rate compare to previous years? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard?
