158th 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 — 6.7/10 against 782 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
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 The Knights Enham Junior School
Overview
The Knights Enham Junior School is described as ambitious for all pupils, yet many do not achieve as well as they should because "important parts of the curriculum are not delivered well enough." Consequently, pupils requiring additional support, particularly in phonics, spelling, and mathematics, do not rapidly catch up and are "not well prepared for secondary school." Despite these academic challenges, the school fosters a positive environment where pupils demonstrate strong values and respect.
Strengths
- Pupils strive to achieve school values, showing they are "typically kind to each other" and view mistakes as opportunities to learn.
- There is a "wide range of opportunities" for pupils to develop skills and leadership, such as through the brass band and school council.
- The curriculum is "ambitiously designed," with most pupils learning well in foundation subjects and relating new learning to prior knowledge.
- The school has secured "rapid improvements in pupils’ attendance" through effective work with parents and professionals.
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils knowledgeable about safety and demonstrating citizenship through community contributions.
Areas to improve
- Staff must provide precise support to rapidly close gaps in pupils’ phonics knowledge so they can read and spell with fluency.
- Teachers must ensure all pupils access age-appropriate mathematical learning to swiftly close gaps and prepare them for key stage 3.
- Staff need expertise to present new learning clearly and precisely, ensuring pupils develop a secure understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
