Check the area around this school
22nd 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 4,024 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.6/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Holyport CofE Primary School
Overview
Holyport C of E Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The report describes a school where pupils flourish in a "tolerant, compassionate and inclusive environment" and achieve well across most subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are happy, with "above-average attendance" and strong relationships with adults who they trust.
- English and mathematics are "well embedded," with phonics delivered "skilfully and consistently" leading to higher-than-average screening scores.
- Teachers plan "interesting lessons" and adapt tasks effectively so that "pupils of all abilities achieve well," including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND.
- The school provides extensive opportunities for personal development, with pupils holding leadership roles such as "religious education ambassadors."
- Staff feel supported by the trust, particularly regarding workload balance and the new appraisal process, "Growing Great People."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, such as history and geography, the knowledge and skills pupils need to learn are "not identified precisely enough," resulting in gaps in some pupils' knowledge.
- The school should ensure the curriculum in these subjects sets out the "sequence of learning clearly" to improve achievement further.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
