About Churchend Primary Academy

Churchend Primary Academy in Reading holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022, a change from its previous Outstanding grade in 2008. The school’s key academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 65%. That is four percentage points above the Reading local authority average of 61%, placing Churchend 13th out of 38 primary schools in the area. In the South East region it ranks 846th out of 2,034 schools, and nationally it sits in the 44th percentile. The school’s ranking score of 65 puts it in the top 50 tier of its local authority, though it trails the top three peers — All Saints Junior School, Redlands Primary School and Alfred Sutton Primary School — which all scored 83 or higher.
