About Bournes Green Junior School

Bournes Green Junior School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection back in 2010. The inspection report rated the school Good across all four key areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Where the school really stands out, however, is in its academic outcomes. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 86% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is significantly above the local authority average of 61% for Southend-on-Sea and places Bournes Green first out of 25 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 5% of all primary schools for this combined measure, a strong indicator of consistent teaching and pupil progress across the core subjects.
