About Oliver Tomkins Church of England Junior School

Around 204 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 10.0 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.

Overall pupil absence was 5.9%. There are about 24.3 pupils per teacher. Oliver Tomkins Church of England 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.
