About Honeywell Junior School

Honeywell Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Wandsworth local authority average, marking it as a strong performer among its peers. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 68 per cent, Honeywell achieves 84 per cent — a full 16 points higher. This places the school 7th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 13 per cent locally and the top 6 per cent nationally. The school also excels at the higher standard, with 32 per cent of pupils reaching that level compared with a less detailed LA benchmark. In individual subjects, reading and maths average scores of 111 and 110 respectively are notably strong, and 63 per cent of pupils hit the higher standard in reading. These figures suggest a school that consistently delivers above-average outcomes for its 320 pupils aged 7 to 11.

Honeywell’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in July 2022, rated the school Good overall, with all four graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — each judged Good. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Outstanding. The school’s Progress 8 data is not available, but the high KS2 scores indicate solid academic foundations. In writing, 87 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and 44 per cent reached the higher standard. Maths performance is particularly strong, with 89 per cent at expected level and 59 per cent at higher level. The school’s ranking score of 84, based on the proportion of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, confirms its position as a top-tier option within Wandsworth, though it sits just behind nearby schools like Sheringdale Primary and Ronald Ross Primary.

Honeywell Junior School is a state-funded, non-denominational mixed primary for children aged 7 to 11, with a capacity of 360 and currently 320 pupils on roll. It offers a range of facilities including a library, playing fields, an outdoor playground and a dining hall. Sports provision covers netball, dance, rounders, cross country, swimming and cricket, while clubs include chess, art, gardening, film club, choir and coding — suggesting a broad enrichment offer. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties (including dyslexia), moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and physical disabilities. With 10 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is slightly below the national average for disadvantage. The school is not oversubscribed in the data provided, but its strong results and location in Wandsworth — within 0.3 km of Outstanding-rated Belleville Primary — make it a solid choice for families seeking high academic standards without the pressure of a selective or faith-based environment.
