Lymington Junior School
About Lymington Junior School
Lymington Junior School's headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Hampshire local authority average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 66%, compared with the LA average of 61%. That five-point gap is a meaningful indicator that this 7-11 mixed state school is delivering above the norm for its area. In the New Forest district, it ranks 13th out of 35 primary schools on this metric, placing it in the top 40% locally. Nationally, it sits in the 41st percentile, a solid mid-table performance that suggests consistent, if not spectacular, outcomes. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. Leadership and management were also judged Good, and the school has maintained this standard across two inspection cycles.
