Shinfield St Mary's CofE Junior School is a Church of England junior academy near Reading, in the Wokingham local authority area, teaching boys and girls aged 7 to 11, with places for up to 360 pupils. It sits within the Diocese of Oxford.
The school describes a warm, nurturing feel that visitors often remark on, and a Christian vision drawn from St John's Gospel — 'as I have loved you, so you must love one another'. It says its broad, inclusive and ambitious curriculum reaches beyond the National Curriculum, and that it has kept a village-school feel despite recent growth, with pupils growing food for the homeless in the school's bio-dome and raised beds.
