Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School
About Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School
Kintbury St Mary's C. E. Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this 121-pupil Church of England primary is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 58% of pupils reached that benchmark in the 2023/24 assessments. That figure sits just one percentage point above the West Berkshire local authority average of 57%, placing the school 26th out of 57 primary schools in the area. While that puts it in the bottom half of the LA table, the context matters — the school serves a community where nearly 30% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a factor that often depresses headline results. Its regional ranking in the South East is similarly mid-table, at the 61st percentile nationally.
