About New Christ Church Church of England Primary School

New Christ Church Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Reading, a local authority where five out of 40 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 29th out of 38 primaries in the borough on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. Its closest Outstanding-rated peer is All Saints Junior School, 1.6 kilometres away, while the top three performers in the LA are All Saints Junior School, Redlands Primary School and Alfred Sutton Primary School. With 190 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is smaller than many in the area, and its Church of England designation gives it a distinct character within Reading’s primary landscape. Headteacher Alison Crooks leads a mixed-gender, non-selective school that serves children from age four to 11.
