265th 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 — 2.0/10 against 149 of them, against 1.1/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Trosnant Junior School
Overview
Trosnant Junior School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy attending and feel safe within a supportive environment. Leaders maintain high expectations, which pupils meet with enthusiasm, fostering positive relationships and impressive behaviour. The school offers a rich curriculum and extracurricular activities that help pupils explore their interests and talents.
Strengths
- Pupils are happy, feel safe, and benefit from "positive and supportive" relationships with staff who keep a "close eye over them."
- Behaviour is "impressive," with pupils working and playing well together and understanding how to resolve issues quickly.
- Reading is a clear priority, supported by daily sessions, diverse texts, and careful monitoring to help pupils develop "fluency and accuracy."
- Teachers are knowledgeable and use "well-thought-out strategies" to address misconceptions, ensuring pupils build knowledge securely over time.
- Leaders provide a "rich range of experiences," including a 'uniqueness' curriculum that develops cultural understanding through visits and events.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified essential knowledge precisely enough, limiting how well pupils develop their understanding.
- Leaders should refine curriculum planning so that subject knowledge is "broken down into smaller steps" to ensure clarity for teachers and pupils.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders making it a "top priority" and ensuring staff are trained and know their responsibilities well.
