Geoffrey Field Junior School
About Geoffrey Field Junior School
Geoffrey Field Junior School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Reading, with 62% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That figure is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 61% for primary schools, placing the school 16th out of 38 similar schools in the borough. The school’s ranking is solidly mid-table — it falls in the bottom 50% nationally but sits just above the median for the South East region. What stands out is that while the headline expected standard is bang on the LA norm, the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 8%, which is on the lower side. That said, individual subject scores tell a slightly different story: the average reading score of 106 and maths score of 104 are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 31% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading specifically, compared with 21% in maths and 14% in writing.
