Ruskin Junior School at a glance

Located in Swindon, Ruskin Junior School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. The school educates roughly 327 pupils aged 7 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. 56% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 4.0 percentage points compared with 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 104 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
