About Harestock Primary School

Harestock Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is comfortably above the Hampshire local authority average of 61%. That eight-point gap places the school in the top half of primary schools within Winchester, where it ranks 14th out of 35. The school’s reading scores are particularly strong: 86% of pupils met the expected standard and 31% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Maths is a little more mixed — 79% met the expected standard and 14% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 103 — but still broadly in line with national norms. Writing also holds up well, with 83% at expected and 17% at greater depth. Given that the school has a below-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 14.5%, these outcomes suggest solid, consistent teaching rather than exceptional outperformance.
