About Stanford Junior School

Stanford Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results stand well above the Brighton and Hove local authority average, marking it out as a strong performer among state primaries in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 59%, Stanford achieves 72% — a clear 13-point advantage. The school’s reading results are particularly striking: 91% of pupils met the expected standard and 61% reached the higher standard, compared with a national picture where higher-standard reading typically hovers much lower. In maths, 81% hit the expected level and 31% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Writing also holds up well, with 89% at expected and 17% at the higher level. These figures place Stanford third out of 48 primary schools in the local authority, and second when ranked specifically on the combined expected measure. It sits just behind Bilingual Primary School - Brighton & Hove and Hove Junior School in the LA rankings, but its overall performance is comfortably ahead of the typical Brighton and Hove primary.
