About Falkland Primary School

Falkland Primary School sits comfortably above the West Berkshire average for its key stage 2 results, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 57%. That 16-point gap places the school in the top quarter of primary schools nationally and 12th out of 67 in the borough. The school's maths and reading average scores of 106 and 107 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 13% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. This is a school that consistently outperforms its local peers, though it is worth noting that three schools in West Berkshire hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, the nearest being Enborne C.E. Primary School just 2.3 kilometres away. Falkland itself was judged Good in its most recent graded inspection in April 2025, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good.
