Heatherlands Primary School

About Heatherlands Primary School

Heatherlands Primary School in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2014 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 58% of pupils. That figure is below the local authority average of 63%, placing Heatherlands 36th out of 66 primary schools in the area and in the bottom half nationally. In individual subjects, 74% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, 68% in maths and 66% in reading, with maths and reading both achieving an average scaled score of 103. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, though 16% hit that mark in reading and maths individually. These results suggest a school where most children meet basic expectations but where stretching the highest achievers remains a work in progress.
