Check the area around this school
208th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,846 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Fryern Junior School
Overview
Fryern Junior School continues to be a good school, maintaining a nurturing ethos where pupils are ‘kind, safe, honest and proud’. Leaders and governors have a clear understanding of what is working well, with a strong focus on reading and enhanced support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- The ‘well-designed curriculum ignites pupils’ interest in learning’, fostering positive attitudes where it is ‘okay to make mistakes’.
- An ‘unwavering focus on reading’ ensures the vast majority of pupils become ‘competent, confident and expressive readers’.
- Strong support for personal and social development helps pupils ‘embrace their fears’ and build positive relationships.
- Identification of and provision for SEND pupils has been enhanced, with parents appreciating improved communications and workshops.
- The wider curriculum provides a ‘rich range of experiences’, including cultural, sporting, and charitable activities.
Areas to improve
- In foundation subjects, the school must identify key learning to ensure pupils can ‘embed it in and retrieve it from their long-term memory’, as they cannot always readily recollect important information.
- Mathematics teaching requires consistency; the school must ensure all pupils have sufficient opportunities to ‘explain their mathematical thinking and apply their knowledge’ to deepen understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
