About Oakmoor School

Oakmoor School in East Hampshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate grade, and the school has maintained this standard since its 2016 graded inspection. The most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.26, which places pupils below the national average and also trails the Hampshire local authority average of -0.17. This means that, on average, students leave Oakmoor with slightly lower GCSE results than peers with similar starting points across the county. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 39.1, and just over a third of pupils (35.4%) achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. Only 8.1% entered the EBacc at the 9-5 threshold, and the EBacc average point score is 3.36. In the South East region, Oakmoor ranks 320th out of 461 schools by Progress 8, and nationally it sits in the bottom half of all state secondaries.
