School overview

Hove Junior School is a primary school serving Brighton and Hove, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 673 pupils aged 7 to 11 on roll. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 4.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 23.9 pupils per teacher. Hove Junior School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
