Farley Hill Primary School

Arborfield Green, RG2 9YW · Wokingham · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
6.2/10 Broadly average

16th of 36 primary schools in Wokingham we can score, 55 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,121 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9/10 among them, against 6.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess, Choir, Street Dance, Ballet, Jazz, Kung Fu, and Lego clubs, or play Athletics and Football. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 358 pupils in a capacity of 365, leaving 7 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 7 places remaining, what is the current waiting list status for new admissions? How does the school support pupils who do not attend a breakfast club in the morning? What specific steps are taken to help the 3.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard extend their learning further?
