About Highfield Junior School

Highfield Junior School in Bromley was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2022, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009. The inspection report is worth a close read because while the overall grade dropped, inspectors awarded Outstanding marks for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24. An impressive 84% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the Bromley local authority average of 69%. That puts Highfield in the top 10% of primary schools nationally and 11th out of 69 schools in the borough. The school also excels at stretching its pupils: 29% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and in reading specifically, 55% reached that higher benchmark.
