About Quilters Junior School

Quilters Junior School sits well above the Essex local authority average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, but at Quilters that figure is 79%. That is a significant gap, and it places the school 5th out of 39 primary schools in Basildon, putting it in the top 13% nationally. The school is also one of 33 outstanding primaries in Essex, a status it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and maintained in an ungraded inspection in November 2024. The Ofsted report noted that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management also rated outstanding. For parents comparing options locally, this is a school that consistently outperforms its peers on the headline academic measure.
