About Englefield C.E. Primary School

Englefield C.E. Primary School is a small Church of England primary in West Berkshire, and its most recent Key Stage 2 results put it comfortably ahead of the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a West Berkshire average of 57%. That gap of 16 percentage points places the school 11th out of 57 primaries in the area, firmly in the top quarter nationally. The school’s reading scores are particularly strong: 91% of pupils met the expected standard and 82% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 112. Maths is also above the norm, with 91% at expected and an average score of 108. The school is heavily oversubscribed — 61 applications for just 16 places in 2025/26, with a ratio of nearly four applicants per spot — which suggests local families are well aware of its performance.
