Jotmans Hall Primary School

Benfleet, SS7 5RG · Essex · primary school

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.9/10 Broadly average

286th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 — 5.9/10 against 3,926 of them, against 5.9/10 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in July 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.9 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Woodland Club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 315 pupils in a school with 315 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 315 available places? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils during the transition to secondary school?
