Courthouse Junior School
About Courthouse Junior School
Of the 98 parents who responded to Ofsted’s Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 72% said they would recommend Courthouse Junior School to other families. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves more than a quarter who wouldn’t. The school is popular enough to be nearly full — 352 pupils against a capacity of 360 — so oversubscription is tight but not extreme. On the specific questions, the strongest signals came from clubs and activities: 95% of parents agreed or strongly agreed their child could take part, and 86% felt their child was happy. Safety also scored well, with 89% agreeing their child feels safe. The weaker spots are worth noting: only 50% of parents felt concerns were dealt with properly, and just 50% agreed that SEND children get the support they need. That’s a significant minority of dissatisfied voices, and it’s the kind of split you’d want to explore on a visit.
