About St Michael's Church of England Controlled Junior School

St Michael's Church of England Controlled Junior School in Rushmoor is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is currently operating very close to full capacity with 377 pupils against a school capacity of 384. That near-full roll is notable given the local context: 24. 9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is a significant proportion and suggests the school serves a community with above-average economic need compared with the national primary average. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand — its admission information signals that places are tightly contested, and families are choosing it even with a strong local alternative just 0. 7km away in St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, which holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school's own most recent inspection, in February 2023, awarded it a Good rating across the board, including for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That represents a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
