Check the area around this school
13th 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 2,954 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6/10 among them, against 7.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.12 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Nine Mile Ride Primary School
Overview
Nine Mile Ride Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a welcoming environment where pupils are happy and feel safe. The report highlights that pupils enjoy learning and treat each other with respect, supported by adults who maintain high expectations for behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "exemplary" behaviour, with disruption to learning being rare and bullying uncommon.
- Teachers work hard to "bring the curriculum alive," engaging pupils through creative activities such as silent movies and role play.
- Reading is a clear priority, with a well-stocked library and staff who are "well trained to teach early reading" in Reception and Key Stage 1.
- The curriculum in subjects like science is "carefully sequenced," helping pupils build upon previous knowledge and connect it to new learning.
- Opportunities for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to "shine" through leadership roles, clubs, and trips.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to further refine curriculum plans in some subjects to "pinpoint the knowledge pupils need to know and remember" and map out exact disciplinary knowledge.
- Staff must ensure that a very small number of pupils in Years 3 and 4 are given books matched to the sounds they are learning to help them catch up in reading.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being knowledgeable and well trained to spot signs that pupils may need support.
