About Crofton Anne Dale Junior School

Crofton Anne Dale Junior School is a primary school in Fareham, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 375 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 48% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 16.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.49 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.4%. There are about 23.4 pupils per teacher. Crofton Anne Dale 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.
