Check the area around this school
20th of 28 primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead we can score, 46 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 4,035 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Courthouse Junior School
Overview
Courthouse Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes an "active, happy school" where pupils are cooperative, considerate, and feel safe. Leaders and the governing body lead the school well, with high regard for staff workload and well-being.
Strengths
- Pupils are "cooperative and considerate," sharing equipment fairly and resolving disagreements quickly.
- The curriculum is well-sequenced, helping pupils "build on prior knowledge and connect ideas together," particularly in English and mathematics.
- The school provides equal access to wider opportunities, such as national choir events and sports tournaments, to support character development.
- Leaders quickly identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and make effective adaptations to teaching.
- Staff appreciate the school’s consideration for their well-being, and the governing body provides appropriate support and challenge.
Areas to improve
- Learning activities and support to address knowledge gaps are not always "precisely focused," meaning misconceptions are not corrected as quickly as they could be.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
