About Caversham Park Primary School

Caversham Park Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, located in the Reading local authority area. Among the 40 primary schools in Reading, it sits at rank 17, placing it just inside the top half of the local league table. The highest-performing local peers include All Saints Junior School, Redlands Primary School, and Alfred Sutton Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Emmer Green Primary School, about 1.3 kilometres away. Caversham Park itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2013, confirmed as still Good following an ungraded inspection in 2023.

The school is led by headteacher Gail Ray and has no religious character, no nursery provision, and no sixth form.
