Sarisbury Church of England Junior School
Southampton, SO31 7AP · Hampshire · primary school
21st 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 — 7.5/10 against 3,998 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| 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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 16.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join French Club, Big Voices Academy, SJS School Choir, and Sewing & Crafting Club. Sports include girls’ football, basketball, dodgeball, netball, football, cross country, rounders, and cricket. The school offers residential visits and an after-school club, but no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 367 pupils in a capacity of 360 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How do parents access the after-school club if they need it?
