About Hollybrook Junior School

Hollybrook Junior School in Southampton has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in June 2024, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015 when it was rated Inadequate. The school’s leadership and management are also judged to be Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 57% of Year 6 pupils achieved this in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts the school slightly above the Southampton local authority average of 55% for primary schools, and places Hollybrook 21st out of 42 schools in the LA rankings. Just 2% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject results were stronger in reading, where 33% achieved the higher standard.
