About Moorlands Primary School

Moorlands Primary School in Southampton was rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in December 2024, with inspectors awarding Good across all five graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school has held a Good rating consistently since at least its previous inspection in 2015. On the headline academic metric for primary schools, 57% of Moorlands' Year 6 pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just above the Southampton local authority average of 55%, placing the school 20th out of 42 primary schools in the area. Nationally, Moorlands ranks in the 36th percentile among all state primaries, which places it in the bottom half of schools across the country on this measure.
