About Vigo Primary School

Vigo Primary School is a primary school in Andover, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 605 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 100 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 97% of the families who made Vigo Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.38 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.4%. There are about 18.7 pupils per teacher. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
