What the figures show

- That 2026 distance was nearer the school than in 2025 but further than in 2022, and the figure has swung sharply between some years.

- In 2024/25, 84% met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, highest of 8 schools: this one and 7 of the 8 nearest Hampshire primary schools that have results.

To improve
- “In the wider curriculum, this is not as fully developed.”
