Edgbarrow School
Crowthorne, RG45 7HZ · Bracknell Forest · secondary school
1st of 7 secondary schools in Bracknell Forest we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 253 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 8.2/10 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

| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.34 · 75 | 25% | 1.88 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.1 · 83 | 10% | 0.83 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Tennis After School Club, Trampolining, or Street Dance Club, and take part in a trip to London and a residential trip abroad.
Getting in. The school has 1482 pupils in a capacity of 1470, meaning it is over capacity by 12. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who need to catch up in English and maths? How are the after-school clubs structured to ensure they remain accessible to all students?
