Oakridge Junior School
Basingstoke, RG21 5RR · Hampshire · primary school
41st 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.3/10 against 2,691 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 20.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Forest School, Creative Arts, Computing, and Sign Language. Sports options cover gymnastics, netball, and football. Year 6 students attend a residential trip. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 345 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 15 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils before their residential trip? What specific support is available for children who need extra help with writing? How are the 15 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
