Around 224 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 92% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 9.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Spring Grove Junior Infant and Nursery School is oversubscribed: about 7 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 41 first choices for 30 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.25 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 38% 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. Spring Grove Junior Infant and Nursery 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.
