Greenfields Junior School

About Greenfields Junior School

Greenfields Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 metric sits just below the Hampshire local authority average, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 61%. That places the school 14th out of 18 primary schools in Hart, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate borough, though it fares slightly better regionally, ranking in the 58th percentile across the South East. Nationally, it sits around the middle of the pack. The gap is narrow — just two percentage points — but it does mean Greenfields is not among the stronger performers in its local area. For context, the top-ranked school in Hart, Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, scores 100 on the same metric. Still, a near-average result is not a red flag; it suggests a solid, unremarkable academic profile rather than a cause for concern.

Digging into the detail of the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the picture is mixed by subject. Reading is a relative strength: 84% of pupils met the expected standard, and 36% achieved a higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Maths is more middling — 66% at expected and 27% at higher, with an average score of 104. Writing lags behind, with 68% at expected and just 4% reaching the higher standard. The school’s Ofsted inspection in June 2022 rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This was a consistent result: the previous inspection in 2013 also awarded Good overall. There is no progress score data available to show how much value the school adds, but the attainment figures give a clear baseline for parents to weigh.

Greenfields is a state junior school for ages 7 to 11, with 297 pupils against a capacity of 330, so it is not oversubscribed to the point of strain. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 17.8%, slightly above the national average for primary schools, which may reflect the local demographic mix. Facilities include an ICT suite, sports hall, playing fields, and a chapel, and the school offers clubs such as choir, drama, art, science and book club. Sports on offer include netball, swimming, cross country and cricket. For SEND, the school lists provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a school that suits families looking for a decent, Good-rated option in Hart with a broad-enough extracurricular offer, but those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to look at the higher-ranked primaries nearby.
