About Livingstone Road Junior School

Livingstone Road Junior School in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 52 per cent. That figure is notably below the local authority average of 63 per cent, and it places the school 43rd out of 50 primary schools in the LA, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. Nationally, it sits in the 75th percentile among all primary schools. The school’s overall ranking score of 52 reflects this position. While the combined figure is a concern, individual subject results tell a slightly more positive story: 73 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 67 per cent in maths and 62 per cent in writing. Higher-attaining pupils are relatively few, with just 4 per cent reaching the higher standard across all three subjects.
