About St Jude's Church of England Junior School
St Jude's Church of England Junior School in Runnymede is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it's currently operating well below its capacity. With 179 pupils against a school capacity of 240, there is significant room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26. 8%, which is notably higher than the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this, the school appears to be in demand: its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, a grade it has held consistently across its previous inspection as well. Parents seem broadly satisfied, with 82% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school to other parents.
