Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School
About Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School
Just 41% of parents responding to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School to others, a figure that gives pause for thought. The survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025 and gathered 51 responses, shows a mixed picture. While 67% of parents agreed their child feels safe and 61% agreed their child does well, only 29% felt concerns are dealt with properly, and just 28% agreed the school lets them know how their child is doing. On the question of whether the school makes parents aware of what their child will learn, 47% disagreed and 18% strongly disagreed. The school is not oversubscribed — it has 194 pupils against a capacity of 198 — so there is room for families considering it. The headteacher is Rebecca Mee, and the school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 7 to 11 in Gedling, Nottinghamshire.
