About Cherbourg Primary School

Cherbourg Primary School in Eastleigh holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 42%. This places Cherbourg 21st out of 23 primary schools in the Eastleigh local authority area, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. The figure is notably below the Hampshire local authority average of 61%, a gap that parents will want to weigh carefully. Within the school, individual subject results vary: 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, compared with 53% in maths and 47% in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%, with reading again the strongest area at 15% reaching that level.
