About The Crescent Primary School

The Crescent Primary School sits in the bottom half of primary schools in Hampshire when it comes to the key stage 2 benchmark of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Its score of 54 on this metric places it 18th out of 23 schools in Eastleigh, and nationally it falls in the 72nd percentile. More telling is the comparison with the Hampshire local authority average of 61 for the same measure — a gap of seven percentage points. The school’s own figure of 54 per cent of pupils meeting that combined expected standard is notably below the typical performance for primary schools across the county. While the school is rated Good by Ofsted overall, this headline academic metric suggests that, in terms of raw attainment at the end of primary, it is not keeping pace with many of its neighbours in the local authority.
