About Sharpness Primary School

Sharpness Primary School is a primary school in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 114 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (January 2026). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 23.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response. 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 further down the page.
