Check the area around this school
285th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.5/10 against 2,784 of them, against 2.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A higher 9.0% achieved the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools). The March 2026 Ofsted inspection used the new framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy
Overview
The report describes a school where leaders have made significant improvements since the previous inspection, particularly in early years and Key Stage 1. While pupils are happy, behave well, and feel safe, achievement in Key Stage 2 remains below expectations, and teaching approaches are not yet fully consistent across the school.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well in a "calm" environment where bullying is rare and dealt with effectively.
- Attendance strategies are effective, with leaders acting swiftly to address barriers and reduce persistent absence.
- Early years provision is strong, with children making good progress in phonics and communication.
- Inclusion systems are clear, ensuring pupils with additional needs receive targeted support and pastoral care.
- Staff benefit from high-quality training and a culture that prioritises inclusion and effective teaching.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must improve pupil achievement in Key Stage 2 so all pupils have the knowledge and skills needed for their next steps.
- Leaders need to embed curriculum and teaching improvements to ensure agreed approaches are used consistently across the school.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where concerns are actively identified, acted upon, and managed to ensure pupils feel safe.
