About Polehampton Church of England Junior School

Polehampton Church of England Junior School sits within the Wokingham local authority, a competitive primary landscape where it currently ranks 30th out of 34 schools of its type. That places it in the bottom half of the LA table, well behind the top-performing local peers such as St Dominic Savio Catholic Primary School, Sonning Church of England Primary School, and St Cecilia's CofE Primary School, each of which scores considerably higher on the ranking metric. The school is a state-funded, mixed Church of England junior school for children aged 7 to 11, with a capacity of 240 and currently 234 pupils on roll. Just 5. 6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably low. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2024, judged the school as Good across all four graded areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2012, when it was rated Outstanding overall.
