About Stafford Junior School

Stafford Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Eastbourne, and the experience of families there has clearly shifted in recent years. The school is now oversubscribed, with 364 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, suggesting strong local demand. This is backed up by a significant turnaround in its Ofsted rating: in its most recent graded inspection in July 2024, the school was rated Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development. That is a notable jump from its previous inspection in January 2020, where it was rated Inadequate across all five categories. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the combination of oversubscription and the rapid improvement in its Ofsted profile points to a school that has rebuilt trust and is now firmly on the radar of Eastbourne families.
