About Elmlea Junior School

Elmlea Junior School is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in the Bristol, City of local authority, where it ranks 14th out of 85 schools of its type. That places it comfortably inside the top 20% locally, and the school sits among strong company: the top three performers in the LA are Summerhill Academy, Westbury Park School, and Ss Peter and Paul RC Primary School. Elmlea is also one of only nine schools in the authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a status it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The school is led by headteacher Becca Hine and operates at near full capacity, with 356 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 360. Its intake is notably less diverse in terms of disadvantage than many local schools, with just 3.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals.
