About Bedonwell Junior School

Bedonwell Junior School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in March 2024 where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 53% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Bexley local authority average of 67%, placing the school 45th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, it falls within the bottom 50% of schools for this measure. The school’s overall ranking score of 53 reflects a performance that is notably lower than the top-performing local primaries, such as St Thomas More Catholic Primary School which scored 95, though it is worth noting that Bedonwell serves a significantly more disadvantaged cohort.
