17th of 26 primary schools in Bracknell Forest we can score, 29 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 2,499 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 4.0/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 Cranbourne Primary School
Overview
Cranbourne Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "proud to attend" and feel safe due to strong relationships with staff. The inspection highlights a "well-sequenced curriculum" and "Outstanding" behaviour and personal development, though it notes variability in teaching practices that impacts some pupils' achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "Outstanding" behaviour, being "polite and well-mannered" with "high" attendance and low-level disruption not tolerated.
- Personal development is "Outstanding", with pupils understanding "the values of modern Britain" and celebrating difference through initiatives like heritage day.
- The curriculum is "well-sequenced" with a focus on vocabulary and recall, supported by teachers with "strong subject knowledge".
- Early years provision is "Good", offering a "well organised" mix of activities that ensures children are "ready to move into key stage 1".
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective, with "appropriate adaptations" and focused teacher training.
Areas to improve
- The school must address "variation in how the school’s pedagogical approaches are embedded" to ensure all pupils achieve well.
- Leaders should ensure they "continue to implement their pedagogical priorities across the school" so that inconsistencies do not hinder pupil progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
