Check the area around this school
21st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.1/10 against 3,954 of them, against 6.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Keep Hatch Primary School
Overview
Keep Hatch Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils ‘blossom’ and develop a ‘love for learning’ from the early years. The report highlights ‘strong bonds and positive relationships’ between pupils and adults, creating an environment where children feel happy, safe, and listened to.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘highly ambitious’ and designed to prepare pupils well for life beyond the school, with knowledge sequenced into ‘golden threads’ to ensure it ‘sticks’.
- Pupils develop a strong love of reading, with adults supporting them effectively through phonics and celebrating books and authors throughout the school.
- Staff provide effective ‘in the moment’ feedback and use assessment to adapt tasks, ensuring complex ideas are broken down and understanding is secure.
- The school offers an ‘extensive’ enrichment programme, including clubs like fencing and ‘Calm club’, and pupils take responsibility seriously in roles such as the ‘Eco team’.
- Identification of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is accurate, with adults following support plans carefully to provide necessary help.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the curriculum does not yet ‘precisely define all aspects of subject knowledge’ that pupils should learn, meaning teachers are less clear about specific information pupils need to remember.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
