Altwood Church of England School
Maidenhead, SL6 4PU · Windsor and Maidenhead · secondary school
8th of 10 secondary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead we can score, 14 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.3/10 against 887 of them, against 3.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 29.1 · 15 | 30% | 0.45 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.2 · 65 | 25% | 1.62 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.0 · 21 | 10% | 0.21 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2023-10. In 2024/25, 29.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.2 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Coding, Musical Theatre Club, Book Clubs, Board Games, and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, alongside Fitness activities. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 794 pupils in a school with 890 places, leaving 96 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific support is offered for the 29.1% who did not reach Grade 5 in English and maths? How does the after-school club operate for students who need care after the school day ends?
