Woolton Hill Junior School
About Woolton Hill Junior School
Woolton Hill Junior School’s headline metrics place it comfortably ahead of the Hampshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (KS2) sits at 61%, Woolton Hill achieves 77% — a significant 16 percentage points higher. This strong performance is reflected in its ranking: within Basingstoke and Deane, the school sits 5th out of 40 primaries, placing it in the top 12.5% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 17% of all state primaries. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, the school was judged to have remained Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. This consistency suggests a stable and effective school, even if it doesn’t reach the Outstanding tier that 33 other primaries in the LA currently hold.
