Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
5.0/10 Broadly average

21st of 27 primary schools in Slough we can score, 28 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 2,520 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8/10 among them, against 7.4/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62
Ofsted 7 35% 0.23
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

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. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8 out of 10 among them, against 7.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join team games and skipping, attend an arty craft night, and can access both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. With 477 pupils in a school with 480 places, there are 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new starters?
