Check the area around this school
3rd of 36 primary schools in Wokingham we can score, 55 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,446 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8/10 among them, against 8.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 82.0 · 90 | 62% | 5.57 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 38% | 3.28 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
