About Scantabout Primary School

Scantabout Primary School in Eastleigh holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors noting that standards were maintained since the previous graded visit. The school’s strongest academic story lies in its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Hampshire local authority average of 61%, and it places Scantabout first among 23 primary schools in Eastleigh. In the wider South East region, the school ranks in the top 5% nationally, coming 101st out of over 2,000 schools. The Ofsted breakdown also highlights an Outstanding rating for early years provision, and leadership and management were judged Good. The school’s headteacher, Tina Thomas, leads a relatively small community of 212 pupils, with capacity for 222, so class sizes are manageable.
