About Curridge Primary School

Curridge Primary School is a primary school in Thatcham, West Berkshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 94 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 55% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 9.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Curridge Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 14 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 15.7 pupils per teacher. Curridge Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
