Nightingale Primary School

About Nightingale Primary School

Nightingale Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Hampshire, but its headline metrics tell a slightly more nuanced story. At Key Stage 2, 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the local authority average of 61% for primary schools. That places the school 192nd out of 425 similar schools in Hampshire, and in the bottom half nationally. However, the school’s reading average score of 104 and maths average score of 101 are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while fewer children are hitting the combined benchmark, those who do are performing solidly. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading (23%) is notably stronger than in maths (11%) or writing (11%), pointing to reading as a relative strength. With 48.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — these results should be viewed in context: the school is serving a significantly disadvantaged intake, and its outcomes are respectable given that starting point.
