Around 235 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. 72% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 2.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 37% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.59 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 20.3 pupils per teacher. Grange Community 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.
