Thatcham Park CofE Primary
About Thatcham Park CofE Primary
Thatcham Park CofE Primary sits within the West Berkshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11. Among the 67 primary schools in the area, it ranks 33rd, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers in the authority are The Ilsleys Primary School, Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, and Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Thatcham Park’s ranking score of 54 puts it some distance behind those schools, though it is worth noting that only three primaries in the entire authority have achieved an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself holds a Good rating, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in May 2024. That inspection judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good.
