About Harnham Church of England Controlled Junior School

Harnham Church of England Controlled Junior School sits below the Wiltshire average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 51% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 58%. That gap of seven percentage points places the school 104th out of 159 primary schools in Wiltshire, putting it in the bottom half of the county. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Reading is a relative strength: 77% of pupils met the expected standard and 26% reached the higher standard, both above the national benchmark. Maths tells a different story, with 62% at expected and only 16% at the higher level. Writing sits between the two, with 66% at expected and just 7% at the higher standard. The school’s overall ranking score of 51 out of 100 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it’s worth noting that the school serves a community where 19% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average.
