About Caversham Park Primary School

Caversham Park Primary School is a primary school in Reading, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 110 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. 72% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 11.0 percentage points year on 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 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Caversham Park Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 5 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 16.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Caversham Park 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.
