Talavera Junior School
About Talavera Junior School
Talavera Junior School is a popular choice among local families, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirming it remains an Outstanding school. While the data does not include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the school’s oversubscription ratio tells its own story: it has 449 pupils against a capacity of 360, meaning it is significantly over capacity and in high demand. This level of oversubscription suggests that parents are actively seeking places here, and the school’s Outstanding rating from Ofsted, upgraded from a previous Good rating in 2013, reinforces that confidence. The school serves a mixed community in Rushmoor, with 13.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average. Amanda Webb is the headteacher, and the school is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
