266th 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 4,238 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 36.0 · 6 | 40% | 0.22 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Tadley Community Primary School
Overview
Tadley Community Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The report describes a ‘caring and inclusive community’ where pupils ‘thrive’ and demonstrate high levels of enthusiasm and respect for one another. Leaders have successfully managed recent changes, including a transition in leadership, while maintaining high expectations for behaviour and learning.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit ‘pride, kindness, diversity and community’, showing an ‘excellent understanding of equality and equity’ and treating others with respect.
- The curriculum is ‘broad and ambitious’, with knowledge sequenced carefully to help pupils make ‘effective links between subjects’.
- Staff provide ‘thoughtful support’ for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), identifying needs swiftly and adapting teaching successfully.
- A ‘love of reading permeates throughout the school’, supported by expert phonics teaching and well-considered interventions for those needing extra help.
- Lunchtimes offer ‘high-quality play’ and social skill development, with pupils engaging in creative activities like building dens and dressing up.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, activities do not focus well enough on subject-specific content, hindering pupils’ learning of intended knowledge.
- Assessment checks in wider curriculum subjects are not always clear or precise, meaning some gaps in knowledge are not identified or closed quickly enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
