Which are the top-rated schools in Southsea?

Under our composite score, St Swithun's Catholic Primary School is the highest-ranked primary school and Priory School is the highest-ranked secondary school in Southsea. The score blends Ofsted inspection, attainment, progress and engagement into one A to F grade, weighted by data completeness. Independent and special schools are listed by Ofsted rating rather than scored.

Why are primary and secondary schools ranked separately?

Because they are measured on different things: primary schools on Key Stage 2 SATs, secondary schools on GCSE results and Progress 8. A grade A primary and a grade A secondary are not the same measurement, so we never rank them against each other. Each phase has its own full ranking for Southsea, linked from its section above.
