2.9/10 Below average

34th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 3,274 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 1.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 1.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Rainbow Breakfast Club, an after-school club, and a Year 6 residential trip.

Getting in. There are 404 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 16 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 are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils before their residential trip?
