About Springfield Primary School

Springfield Primary School’s most recent Key Stage 2 results place it comfortably ahead of the West Berkshire local authority average, with 71% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 57%. That 14-point gap is significant and puts the school in the top 27% nationally for this measure. It also ranks 16th out of 67 primary schools in the borough, just outside the top quartile. The school’s reading scores are particularly strong, with an average scaled score of 106 and 83% of pupils hitting the expected standard. Maths and writing both sit at 77% and 83% expected respectively, while 13% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. For context, the nearest outstanding school, Birch Copse Primary School, is just half a kilometre away, so Springfield holds its own in a competitive local landscape.
