About Burlington Junior School

Burlington Junior School’s parent community sends a strong signal of satisfaction: 77% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in the 2023/24 KS2 assessments, well above the Kingston upon Thames local authority average of 66%. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 477 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, suggesting that local families are keen to secure a place. In its most recent graded inspection in 2014, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in September 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The previous inspection in 2008 had awarded an Outstanding rating, so the current Good grade represents a step down, but the school has held that rating consistently across its two most recent inspections. For parents weighing up options, the combination of strong parent take-up and above-average outcomes makes this a popular choice in the borough.
