About Elmhurst Junior School

Elmhurst Junior School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2020. The school earned Good marks across all five categories inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This upward trajectory is reflected in the school’s academic performance at Key Stage 2, where 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure sits comfortably above the Somerset local authority average of 59%, placing Elmhurst among the stronger performers in the area. The school serves 234 pupils aged 7 to 11, with 24.4% eligible for free school meals, a proportion that suggests a broadly mixed intake. For parents weighing up primary options in Somerset, Elmhurst’s combination of a rising Ofsted grade and above-average SATs results makes it a solid, data-backed choice.
