About Westwood Farm Junior School

Westwood Farm Junior School sits within the West Berkshire local authority, a mixed state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11. In the most recent local rankings based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, it placed 28th out of 57 schools of the same type, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. The top-performing peers in the area include The Ilsleys Primary School, Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, and Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School. For families prioritising an Outstanding rating, the nearest school with that grade is Birch Copse Primary School, 1. 9 kilometres away. Westwood Farm itself has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when overall effectiveness was rated Requires Improvement.
