About Rownhams St John's Church of England Primary School

Rownhams St John's Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when compared with other primary schools in Hampshire. Its key stage 2 results show that 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 61%. That places the school 154th out of 425 primary schools in the county, and 20th out of 40 in the Test Valley borough. The school's ranking score of 60 puts it in the bottom half nationally, though it's worth noting that this is a single metric and the school performs better on some individual subjects. For instance, 74% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 70% did so in maths. The school is also oversubscribed, with 97 applications for 43 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, suggesting it remains a popular choice among local families despite its middling headline results.
