Hungerford Primary School
About Hungerford Primary School
Hungerford Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when it comes to West Berkshire primary schools, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a similar story. The school achieved a 58% expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 57%. That places it 27th out of 67 primary schools in the area, putting it right in the middle of the table. What stands out more is the spread of attainment: while 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 70% in maths, writing lagged slightly at 68%. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was just 2%, though individual subjects fared better — 26% hit the higher bar in reading, 13% in maths and 8% in writing. So this is a school where most children are meeting expectations, but pushing into the top tier of performance is less common.
