Anstey Junior School
About Anstey Junior School
Anstey Junior School’s headline KS2 results sit noticeably below the Hampshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Anstey’s figure is 50%. That’s an 11-percentage-point gap, and it places the school 25th out of 31 primary schools in East Hampshire, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. The school also ranks in the bottom 50% nationally, at the 80th percentile. However, the picture is not uniformly low. In reading, 70% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 105 is solid. Maths tells a slightly different story: 58% reached the expected standard, with an average score of 102. Where Anstey really struggles is at the higher end — just 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard across reading, writing and maths, compared with a stronger showing in reading alone (27%) and writing (25%).
