About Burnt Oak Junior School

Burnt Oak Junior School in Bexley has an Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it earned in its most recent graded inspection and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2024. That puts it among just 11 primary schools in the local authority to hold that top mark, out of 61 total. But the school's headline academic metric tells a more complicated story. At Key Stage 2, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is ten percentage points below the Bexley local authority average of 67%, and it places Burnt Oak 43rd out of 55 primaries in the borough — in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. The school's ranking score of 57 on this measure is a long way from the top three in the area, all of which score 92 or above. So while the Ofsted judgement is the highest possible, the raw attainment figures suggest the school is not currently matching the LA's typical performance at the expected standard.
