Burnt Oak Junior School
Sidcup, DA15 9DA · Bexley · primary school
6th of 55 primary schools in Bexley we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,805 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.7/10 among them, against 8.5/10 nationally. 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.7 out of 10 among them, against 8.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in athletics, multi-skills, dance, and swimming, with a trip to the Isle of Wight. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 245 pupils in a capacity of 248, leaving 3 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 21.0% who reached the higher standard continue their progress? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 3 places remaining?
