Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
8.7/10 Well above average

4th of 36 primary schools in Wokingham we can score, 55 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 1,801 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 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.
