135th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.7/10 against 402 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 38% | 3.12 |
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 Stanmore Primary School
Overview
Stanmore Primary School is described as a “happy school” where “strong relationships between pupils, families and staff thrive in its positive and safe community.” The report highlights that the school has “worked tirelessly to improve the quality of education since the previous inspection,” resulting in significant progress. Pupils are “self-motivated” and “typically achieve well,” benefiting from high expectations and a clear vision to “be the best that you can be.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is now “ambitious and well-sequenced,” with teachers who are “skilled and confident” due to effective professional development.
- Reading is a high priority; pupils “learn to read quickly” and teachers “develop pupils’ phonics knowledge skilfully.”
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is swift and accurate, with staff adapting tasks so these pupils “learn the curriculum successfully.”
- Pastoral support is “especially strong,” featuring “carefully planned programmes” that have greatly reduced suspensions and helped vulnerable pupils succeed.
- The school offers a “wide range of enrichment opportunities,” including music, sports, and clubs, fostering a vibrant community life.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not identified clearly enough “the most important knowledge that pupils need to recall long term,” which slows learning.
- Some pupils have “poor attendance,” meaning they “miss out on important learning and all the great experiences that this school offers.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
