About Mansbridge Primary School

Mansbridge Primary School in Southampton holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the graded visit in November 2022. The most telling academic metric for this 204-pupil primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 47%. That figure is notably below the Southampton local authority average of 55%, placing the school 35th out of 54 similar primaries in the area. In the broader South East region, it ranks in the bottom half of schools, and nationally it falls within the bottom 20% on this measure. While the overall Ofsted judgement is positive, the exam data tells a more nuanced story about academic attainment at the school.
