It was opened in 2005 by Bishop Stephen Cottrell and currently operates as an academy within The White Horse Federation (TWHF), a multi-academy trust of 30 schools, 1,500 colleagues and 11,000 children across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The school serves children aged 3-11 through a 78-place nursery plus Reception through Year 6, organised across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, and operates within a Christian framework articulated by the vision 'Life in all its fullness' (John 10:10) and the values 'be kind, be curious, be ready.'

The school's core educational product is full primary schooling following the National Curriculum, delivered through the TWHF ENRich curriculum covering ENRich Maths, ENRich Reading and ENRich Writing, alongside all foundation subjects. Adjacent fee-based services include wrap-around care (breakfast club at £6.00 per session, after-school club at £13.00 per session) booked through ParentPay, hot meals supplied by Caterlink, and a broad extra-curricular clubs programme. The school operates a Pupil Leadership Team and offers extensive trips including a Year 6 Finland residential in partnership with Reading Boys School and the Adventure Apes Centre. SEND provision includes dedicated resource units (HIVE and Bumblebees) supported by a SENCO.

Commercially, the school is a non-trading public-sector institution. Its revenue mix is dominated by per-pupil government funding routed through Reading Borough Council, supplemented by Pupil Premium, Sport Premium, and the extended 30-hour nursery entitlement for eligible working parents. Admissions are coordinated by Reading Borough Council (via Brighter Futures for Children) using Applicaa and My New Term software, with parent communication handled through ClassDojo and the school website. The school is currently rated 'Good' overall with 'Outstanding' for personal development following its June 2025 Ofsted inspection, completing a documented recovery from 'Inadequate' status as recently as 2023. The headteacher is Matt Parting, who also serves as Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Scale indicators7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Caterlink: The school meals provider delivering catering at St Mary's and across multiple UK schools — an ecosystem partner relevant for benchmarking the wrap-around revenue model.
• Diocese of Oxford Schools: The diocesan authority that governs the Church of England schools framework under which St Mary's operates — comparable as the regulator/strategic partner for Christian distinctiveness, SIAMS inspections and admissions policy.
• Reading Borough Council (School Admissions): The local authority administering primary admissions and Pupil Premium allocations for schools in Reading — a key ecosystem participant for any Reading-area school including St Mary's, governing the demand-side pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• Harris Federation Primary Schools: A large UK multi-academy trust operating many primary academies with shared curriculum and back-office infrastructure — broadly comparable to TWHF as a scale incumbent in the UK state primary market.
• The White Horse Federation (Trust HQ): The parent multi-academy trust governing 30 schools across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire — the broader incumbent that provides central curriculum, HR and governance services to St Mary's and is the natural aggregator for any portfolio-level investment or partnership.
• Oasis Community Learning: A large UK MAT running Oasis academies across primary and secondary phases with shared curriculum and inclusion focus — relevant incumbent peer for comparing trust-level operating models.
• ARK Schools (ARK Multi-Academy Trust): A UK multi-academy trust running a portfolio of primary and secondary academies with shared curriculum design — a comparable scale incumbent to TWHF for benchmarking governance, central services and pupil outcomes.

Direct peers

• Tregoze Primary School (TWHF): Another TWHF primary academy sharing the same ENRich curriculum, governance structure and central trust support — the closest possible operational and structural peer to St Mary's within the same multi-academy trust.
• All Saints Infant School (Reading): A partner Church of England infant school in the same Coley Park parish that jointly runs Christingle services with St Mary's — a directly comparable local CofE primary serving overlapping catchment and sharing the Diocese of Oxford framework.
• Zouch Academy (TWHF): A TWHF primary school in Tidworth that was shortlisted for the 2025 Tes Awards Early Years Setting of the Year — directly comparable as a fellow Church of England / TWHF primary academy with nursery provision and wrap-around care, sharing the same central curriculum and governance.
