Choosing a School in Southampton

Southampton has no grammar schools, so its state secondary schools do not select by ability. Hampshire has none either; the nearest grammar schools are in Salisbury and Bournemouth: Bishop Wordsworth's Church of England Grammar School (20.0 miles), South Wilts Grammar School (20.7 miles), Bournemouth School for Girls (22.5 miles) and Bournemouth School (22.7 miles). For sixth form, Richard Taunton Sixth Form College is in the city and Barton Peveril is in Eastleigh. Parents apply for Reception and Year 7 places through their home council; for most addresses on this map that is Southampton City Council.

In Southampton, the average primary school had 57% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at KS2 (England: 63%), and the average secondary had 39% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in English and maths at GCSE (England: 46%).

How Are Averages Calculated?

When you open a school, its results show a comparison such as "+12% vs avg". The average is the mean of the figures for every English state school in our data that reports that measure, each school counted once. For primary schools (14,923 with KS2 results), the average share of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 63%, with average scaled scores of 105.6 in reading and 104.6 in maths. For secondary schools (3,274 with GCSE results), the average share of pupils getting grade 5 or above in English and maths is 46%, grade 4 or above 65%, and the average Attainment 8 score is 46.6. Because each school counts once whatever its size, these are school averages, not the share of all pupils in England.
