Herne Junior School
Petersfield, GU31 4BP · Hampshire · primary school
100th 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 — 6.6/10 against 3,804 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 16.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Drama, Creation Station Art, History, Junior Duke, Eco-Team, Service Child, and Interhouse clubs. Sports include football, netball, and a dedicated football squad. Music provision covers piano, violin, brass, choir, orchestra, and rock steady. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 437 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 43 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late to the day, given there is no breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 16.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
