Ascot, SL5 9QY · Windsor and Maidenhead · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
6.6/10 Above average

3rd 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 607 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 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.

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, 57.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.25 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4 out of 10 among them, against 7.4 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 1715 pupils in a capacity of 1740, leaving 25 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 to maintain progress when results are below the national median for similar intakes? What specific steps are taken to address the gap between the school’s performance and the national average for similar backgrounds? How does the school manage entry given that it is near capacity?
