Check the area around this school
140th of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 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 — 5.5/10 against 3,465 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Bordon Junior School
Overview
Bordon Junior School provides a high-quality education where pupils enjoy active days filled with clubs and musical opportunities. The report highlights that leaders have high expectations for behaviour, fostering a community where pupils develop confidence, pride, and strong interpersonal skills. While the overall effectiveness is rated as Good, personal development is judged as Outstanding, reflecting the school’s success in supporting pupil well-being and leadership.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "wide range of enriching and inspiring experiences" that help them develop confidence and a sense of pride in the school community.
- Mathematics teaching is "particularly well developed," with precise assessments enabling expert teachers to quickly address learning gaps for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
- Staff feel "valued" and supported by senior leaders, who invest in professional development and have strengthened governance arrangements since joining the multi-academy trust.
- The personal development programme is "coherently planned," helping pupils recognise their emotional needs and improve their well-being through roles such as 'young governors'.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the English curriculum is "coherently planned and sequenced," as some texts are too easy or reinforce narrow preferences, impacting pupil achievement.
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not sufficiently planned how pupils learn about "how each subject works," limiting their ability to integrate new knowledge with prior learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to identify risks and leaders rigorously escalating concerns to external partners when necessary.
