About St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School

St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School in East Hampshire holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with one area — behaviour and attitudes — judged Outstanding. The school's headline exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 53%. That is below the Hampshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools, and places St Matthew's 23rd out of 31 schools in the East Hampshire district. In the wider South East region it ranks in the bottom half, at the 73rd percentile. The school's individual subject scores tell a more mixed story: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 63% did so in both reading and maths. At the higher standard, reading leads with 23%, followed by maths at 13% and writing at 10%. Just 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
