About this school
Basildon C.E. Primary School is a Church of England primary academy in Reading. It teaches children aged 2 to 11.
Ofsted has inspected Basildon C.E. Primary School, and its latest judgement is set out below. Seeing a school for yourself shows what no page can, so arrange a visit before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 22 February 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as Basildon C.E. Primary School (URN 109949).
