Hamworthy Park Junior School
About Hamworthy Park Junior School
If you're looking at Hamworthy Park Junior School, the first thing you'll likely want to know is what other parents think. Ofsted's Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, shows that 69% of the 42 respondents would recommend the school. That's a solid majority, though it's worth noting that 31% said they wouldn't. On the positive side, 76% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 74% felt their child is safe. However, the picture is more mixed on behaviour: 64% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, but 36% disagreed. The school is not oversubscribed based on the data available, with 455 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, so there is some spare room. This suggests that for families in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, securing a place is likely straightforward, and the school is actively looking to fill its remaining spaces.
