Honeywell Junior School

Honeywell Junior School is performing strongly overall, with pupils achieving well from their starting points and attainment in reading, writing and mathematics consistently above national averages. Disadvantaged pupils also achieve highly, attainment gaps are narrowing, and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities make rapid progress because staff understand their needs and adapt support effectively. Behaviour is a real strength, attendance is a high priority, and persistent absence is consistently below the national average. The curriculum is ambitious and taught well, with pupils studying subjects in depth and benefiting from strong foundations in English and mathematics alongside a wide range of enrichment. Inclusion is a central feature: pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils are fully included, support is carefully balanced with independence, and staff work closely with families and external experts. Leadership and governance are highly effective, staff feel well supported, and partnerships with parents and other schools contribute to improvement. The school provides a caring, inclusive personal development programme that helps pupils feel safe, valued and prepared for life in modern Britain. The main development point is to continue refining personal development and wellbeing so that it has a transformational impact on all pupils, especially those with SEND. Honeywell Junior School is part of the Honeywell Schools Federation and has 320 pupils; its free school meal eligibility is below average, while SEN support and EHC plan proportions are close to average.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 Honeywell Junior School had 25.3 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 27.6% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 14.9% of pupils at Honeywell Junior School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 3.7% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.
