About Clarendon Junior School (Clarendon Federation)
Clarendon Junior School, part of the Clarendon Federation in Wiltshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a rating it has maintained since its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspectors judged the school Good across all four key areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. For a clearer picture of academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard. Here, 48% of pupils met the benchmark, which sits below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 112th out of 159 schools in the county on this measure. While the overall effectiveness is solid, the data suggests that achieving the expected standard across all three core subjects is a particular challenge for this cohort.
