Check the area around this school
191st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.0/10 against 2,500 of them, against 3.6/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Stoke Park Junior School
Overview
Stoke Park Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a happy environment where pupils demonstrate the school’s values of “respect, inspire, safe and engage” and achieve well. Leaders’ decisive actions have ensured that standards continue to improve across all areas of the school’s work.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, showing “consideration towards each other” in a school where “a sense of kindness and care permeates” the community.
- The curriculum is logically sequenced, with staff displaying “strong subject knowledge” that helps them explain ideas effectively.
- Reading and writing are prioritised, with “precise” adaptations in core subjects enabling pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to achieve well.
- The school has successfully reduced suspensions and improved attendance, particularly for pupils who speak English as an additional language.
- Staff share a “strong culture” of supporting one another, with positive actions taken to manage workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, assessment does not sufficiently support learning, leading to unaddressed gaps; staff should routinely check understanding to inform future teaching.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, learning is not adapted well enough for pupils with SEND, meaning they do not achieve as well as they should; staff expertise in adapting teaching needs development.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
