Reading, RG30 4ED · Reading · primary school
36th of 37 primary schools in Reading we can score, 40 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.4/10 against 1,399 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.23 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Football Centre Skills, Tilehurst Panthers FC, Barton Rovers, Berkshire Cricket Dyanmos, Reading Rockets Basketball, Apollo Gymnastics, Reading Rugby, and Reading Hockey. They also play tennis, athletics, and netball, and visit Parliament House.
Getting in. The school has 231 pupils in a capacity of 236, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What provisions exist for children needing care before 8:30 am or after 3:30 pm, given there is no breakfast or after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 5 places remaining?
