About Monkwick Junior School

Monkwick Junior School sits within the Essex local authority, a large primary landscape where 33 out of 444 schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 337th in the county when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, placing it in the bottom half of Essex primaries. Among its local peers in Colchester, the top performers are St Thomas More's Catholic Primary School, Stambridge Primary School and Great Totham Primary School, all of which achieve significantly higher ranking scores. The nearest Outstanding-rated school to Monkwick is Kendall Church of England Primary School, just 1.6 kilometres away, which gives local families a nearby high-performing alternative. Monkwick’s position in the local landscape is therefore one of a solid but not standout option, serving a community with particular challenges that its results reflect.
