About The Victory Primary School

The Victory Primary School in Portsmouth holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. The school’s Early Years provision and Personal Development were both judged Outstanding, while Behaviour and Attitudes, Quality of Education, and Leadership and Management were all rated Good. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 54% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just one percentage point above the Portsmouth local authority average of 53%, placing the school 17th out of 32 primary schools in the area. While this is a solid mid-table result, the school ranks in the bottom 50% nationally, at the 71st percentile, and its ranking score of 54 puts it well behind the top performers in Portsmouth, such as Ark Ayrton Primary Academy which scored 80.
