About Aldermaston C.E. Primary School

Aldermaston C.E. Primary School has been rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in May 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school received Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results. Only 42% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which places the school 48th out of 57 primary schools in West Berkshire. This is well below the local authority average of 57% and puts Aldermaston in the bottom half of schools nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, compared with 67% in writing and just 50% in maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was only 8%, and the average scaled scores in reading and maths both sat at 102.
