The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 3.0 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.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Fir Tree Junior School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 28.0 pupils per teacher. Fir Tree 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.
