Denmead Junior School
Waterlooville, PO7 6PH · Hampshire · primary school
244th of 301 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 423 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 — 1.8/10 against 2,975 of them, against 2.2/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils take part in the Daily Mile and visit the Forest Garden for outdoor learning.
Getting in. The school has 316 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 44 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Forest Garden visits? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for families needing care before or after school hours?
