About Marnel Junior School

Marnel Junior School is a primary school in Basingstoke, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 459 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. 65% 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%). Performance is little changed year on 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 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
