About Curridge Primary School

Curridge Primary School sits comfortably above the West Berkshire average for primary schools on the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school’s 64% achieving that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year compares favourably with the local authority average of 57%, placing it 21st out of 67 primary schools in the area. That puts Curridge in the top third of its local peers, a solid position for a small village school. The gap is even more striking at the higher standard: 7% of Curridge pupils hit the top tier across all three subjects, while the LA average sits at 57% for expected — meaning Curridge’s higher-achieving cohort is modest but its core attainment is notably stronger than many nearby schools. With only 94 pupils on roll, the school manages to punch above its weight academically, and its ranking in the top 50 nationally by this metric suggests consistency rather than a one-off blip.
