Reading, RG4 9LN · Oxfordshire · secondary school
26th of 40 secondary schools in Oxfordshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 931 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.79 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.8 · 52 | 30% | 1.58 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.4 · 21 | 25% | 0.52 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.3 · 42 | 10% | 0.42 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.4 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Debate Society, Puzzle Pirates, and Music Clubs, or participate in rowing and cross country. An annual ski trip is also offered.
Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a building with 934 places, leaving 513 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students who need extra help in maths? How does the school manage class sizes given the significant spare capacity?
