About Sefton Park Junior School

Sefton Park Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results sit below the Bristol local authority average, which is a key point for parents weighing up options. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 58%, while Sefton Park’s figure is 53%. That places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the city, ranked 54th out of 85. Its overall ranking score of 53 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally too, at the 73rd percentile. The school’s reading and maths average scores are 107 and 106 respectively, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100, but the proportion of pupils hitting the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined is just 4%, compared with 41% reaching higher in reading alone. This suggests that while many children are competent in individual subjects, fewer are excelling across all three simultaneously.
