About Oakfield Academy

Oakfield Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Hampshire local authority average, which is a notable contrast for parents scanning the data. The school’s combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score is 43 per cent, compared with the LA average of 61 per cent. That gap of 18 percentage points places Oakfield in the bottom half of primary schools in the New Forest, ranked 32nd out of 35. Nationally, it sits in the 88th percentile — meaning roughly 88 per cent of primary schools achieve a higher combined score. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated overall effectiveness as Good, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2018. The early years provision and personal development both received Outstanding marks, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all judged Good.
