Velmead Junior School

Fleet, GU52 7LG · Hampshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
8.0/10 Well above average

20th 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 — 9.5/10 against 3,583 of them, against 9.6/10 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.

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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 28.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. 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 (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Chess, Orchestra, Coding, and Sewing clubs, or participate in Athletics, Netball, and Football. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 373 pupils in a capacity of 376, leaving only 3 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for the remaining 3 places? What support is available for pupils who need help with homework outside of the dedicated club? How does the school ensure the after-school club remains accessible to all families?
