Kempshott Junior School
About Kempshott Junior School
Kempshott Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit exactly in line with the Hampshire local authority average, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That places it squarely in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 144th out of 425 primary schools in the county, and 19th out of 40 schools in Basingstoke and Deane. The school’s national percentile of 54.4 confirms it is performing broadly in the mainstream, neither struggling nor soaring. What stands out more is the variation within subjects: 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, well above the school’s own combined figure, while maths and writing lagged at 73% and 79% respectively. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 10%, suggesting that while most children get a solid foundation, fewer are stretching into the top tier.
