About Berrywood Primary School

Berrywood Primary School is a primary school in Southampton, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 627 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 8.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 35% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Berrywood Primary School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 102 first choices for 90 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.76 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.4%. There are about 21.6 pupils per teacher. Berrywood Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
