About Court Lane Junior Academy

Court Lane Junior Academy sits in the middle of the pack for Portsmouth primary schools, ranking 20th out of 32 in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 50%, which is three points below the Portsmouth average of 53%. That gap is modest but worth noting for parents comparing schools. The school's ranking places it in the bottom half of schools nationally, at the 77th percentile, and in the South East region it ranks 1602nd out of 2034 primaries. So while Court Lane is not among the top performers in the area, it is far from the bottom either. The school's overall effectiveness has been rated Good by Ofsted in both its most recent graded inspection in 2018 and its ungraded inspection in 2024, which confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management also hold a Good rating, giving some reassurance that the school is stable and well-led, even if its raw outcomes sit slightly below the local average.
