Calcot Junior School
About Calcot Junior School
Calcot Junior School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 50% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the West Berkshire local authority average of 57% and ranks it 39th out of 57 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of its local authority. Nationally, the school sits in the 78th percentile, meaning roughly 22% of primary schools nationally performed worse on this combined measure. While the headline figure gives pause, the individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story, with reading and writing both performing close to the national expected standard.
