Avonwood Primary School
Bournemouth, BH7 6NB · Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole · primary school
1st of 50 primary schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we can score, 67 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 — 9.4/10 against 4,247 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 84.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 24.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.4 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in tag rugby, cricket, tennis, gymnastics, dance, and yoga. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 481 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 61. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics of being 61 pupils over capacity? What are the specific start and end times for the sports clubs? How do parents arrange supervision before and after school hours given the lack of wraparound care?
