Bournes Green Junior School
Southend-on-Sea, SS1 3PX · Southend-on-Sea · primary school
4th of 27 primary schools in Southend-on-Sea we can score, 33 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,948 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 24.0%. 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 (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the 11+ Club, School Choir, Eco-Committee, and University of Bournes Green. Sports include football and swimming, while arts cover ukulele, DJing, recorder, and dance. Trips include Young Voices and the Southend Music Festival. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. There are 265 pupils in a school with 264 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity for new admissions? What specific support does the 11+ Club offer to prepare pupils for secondary school entry? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
