About Wyke Regis Church of England Junior School

Wyke Regis Church of England Junior School was rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 51% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school slightly below the Dorset local authority average of 56% for the same measure. In the local authority rankings, Wyke Regis sits 39th out of 119 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of the county. Nationally, the school ranks in the 77th percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of primary schools nationally perform worse on this combined measure. The school’s overall ranking score of 51 places it in the bottom 50 tier nationally, though this single metric doesn’t tell the full story of its recent progress.
