About Lambourn CofE Primary School

Lambourn CofE Primary School has been rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously judged as Requires Improvement in January 2023, so the upgrade to Good in July 2025 represents a significant turnaround. Inspectors awarded Outstanding grades for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. On the most informative exam metric, just 48% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That figure sits well below the West Berkshire local authority average of 57%, and it places the school 41st out of 57 primary schools in the area. Only 13% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores were more mixed.
