Kennet Valley Primary School
Reading, RG31 7YT · West Berkshire · primary school
19th of 54 primary schools in West Berkshire we can score, 67 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 — 4.9/10 against 2,753 of them, against 4.5/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.0% 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. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Kingfisher Club, along with both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 198 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 12 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the Kingfisher Club support pupils who did not reach the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its current capacity with 12 places remaining?
