Stoke Park Junior School

About Stoke Park Junior School

Stoke Park Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Hampshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61 per cent, Stoke Park achieves 55 per cent. That places the school 17th out of 23 primaries in Eastleigh, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 30th percentile among all state primaries. The school’s reading average score of 104 and maths average of 101 are both in line with national expectations, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7 per cent. These figures suggest a school where most children meet the basics, but fewer than average are stretching beyond them.

In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2019, Stoke Park was rated Good overall, with Good for leadership and management. An ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed that standards had been maintained. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections. Parent feedback from the 2024/25 period is largely positive: 82 per cent of the 38 respondents would recommend the school, and 94 per cent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy here. However, there are areas of concern. On the question of whether the school gives SEND children the support they need, 40 per cent disagreed and only 33 per cent strongly agreed. Similarly, 18 per cent disagreed that their child does well at the school, and 16 per cent disagreed that the school has high expectations for their child.

Stoke Park Junior School is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11, with a capacity of 384 and currently 350 on roll. It is not oversubscribed, so families in the Eastleigh area are likely to secure a place. The school offers a chapel, playing fields, an ICT suite and art studios, plus clubs including coding, chess, choir and book club. Sports provision covers rounders, gymnastics, cross country and tennis. SEND support is a notable feature: the school has a resourced provision and caters for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties and physical disabilities. That said, parent views on SEND support are mixed, so families with children who have additional needs may want to visit and ask specific questions. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School, 4.3 km away.
