Woolton Hill Junior School at a glance

Located in Newbury, Hampshire, Woolton Hill Junior School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 121 pupils aged 7 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 42% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% 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 1.43 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 3.8%. There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher. Woolton Hill 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.
