About Hartford Junior School
If you're a parent considering Hartford Junior School, the parent feedback is a good place to start. Of the 18 families who responded to the most recent Parent View survey, 89% said they would recommend the school. That's a strong vote of confidence, and it's backed up by some very positive individual scores: 89% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy, and 100% felt their child is safe. On the practical side, 94% agreed the school has high expectations for their child, and 94% said their child does well. The picture isn't entirely rosy, though. On the question of whether concerns are dealt with properly, 17% disagreed and 6% strongly disagreed, which is a notable minority. The school is also oversubscribed in a practical sense: it has 215 pupils against a capacity of 240, so there is some room, but it's not a school that's struggling for numbers. With 31.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a community with above-average disadvantage.
