About Purbrook Junior School

Purbrook Junior School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2016, and a subsequent ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 47 per cent. That is noticeably below the Hampshire local authority average of 61 per cent for primary schools, placing Purbrook 257th out of 425 similar schools in the county. In the Havant area specifically, the school ranks 16th out of 23 primary schools on this measure. While the school does not have Progress 8 scores for its junior-age pupils, the individual subject results give a clearer picture: 69 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 71 per cent in writing, and 58 per cent in maths. The average scaled scores were 105 in reading and 102 in maths.
