About Guillemont Junior School

Guillemont Junior School in Rushmoor has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022. The school's leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and personal development all received Good marks in the 2025 graded inspection. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. This is slightly below the Hampshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 174th out of 425 primary schools in the county. In Rushmoor specifically, Guillemont ranks 11th out of 16 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. The school's reading scores are a relative strength, with 79% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 22% achieving the higher standard, compared to 63% in maths and 73% in writing at the expected level.

The school's Progress 8 data is not available, but the average scaled scores tell a clearer story. Pupils achieved an average reading score of 104 and a maths score of 102, both above the national baseline of 100. However, only 6% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, and just 13% did so in maths and writing respectively. The Parent View survey, based on 103 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows mixed feelings. While 79% of parents agree or strongly agree that their child is happy, and 80% feel their child is safe, only 64% would recommend the school to another parent. Concerns around behaviour are notable, with 34% of parents disagreeing that the school ensures good behaviour, and 32% disagreeing that concerns are dealt with properly. Support for children with SEND also divides opinion, with 26% strongly disagreeing that these pupils receive adequate support.

Guillemont Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, with 334 pupils on roll against a capacity of 388, meaning there is some room for growth. The school has a range of facilities including a sports hall, playing fields, library, ICT suite, music rooms, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include cricket, rounders, tennis, cross country and athletics, while clubs extend to gardening, eco club, drama and coding. The school's SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs, with a resourced provision available. With 13.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a fairly typical demographic for the area. This is a school that has clearly improved its Ofsted rating but still faces challenges in meeting the local academic average and addressing parent concerns around behaviour and communication.
