Check the area around this school
17th of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.6/10 against 4,049 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Alexandra Junior School
Overview
Alexandra Junior School is described as a place where pupils are “polite, well-mannered and happy,” benefiting from “high expectations” and an “ambitious and broad” curriculum. The report highlights “exceptionally well” behaviour and attitudes, alongside strong personal development that prepares pupils for life through carefully planned programmes and enrichment activities.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “consistently excellent attitudes towards their learning” and are “highly focused” in class.
- The curriculum is “ambitious and broad,” with pupils reading “challenging texts” and studying subjects like Shakespeare in Year 6.
- Pupils develop “strong and secure” knowledge, confidently applying prior learning across subjects such as music, art, and science.
- Most pupils become “fluent, confident readers with a love of books” by Year 6, supported by staff who provide frequent practice opportunities.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported to access the same ambitious curriculum, with staff ensuring their needs are “met well in class.”
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure teaching and resources are “routinely adapted” for a small proportion of pupils who struggle with writing fluency, as they are sometimes given tasks they lack the knowledge to complete.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
