About Yattendon C.E. Primary School

Yattendon C. E. Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in West Berkshire, with its headline Key Stage 2 results landing almost exactly on the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 56%, just one percentage point below the LA average of 57%. That places the school 32nd out of 57 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half but not by a wide margin. What stands out more is the school's small size — just 89 pupils against a capacity of 105 — and its very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 3. 4%, well below the national average. This is a Church of England primary in a rural corner of West Berkshire, and its results suggest a solid, unflashy academic offering rather than a standout performer.
