Ranelagh School
Bracknell, RG12 9DA · Bracknell Forest · secondary school
2nd 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 242 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 8.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 58.6 · 80 | 46% | 3.70 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.59 · 87 | 38% | 3.36 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.4 · 81 | 15% | 1.25 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. The school has 1101 pupils in a capacity of 1010, meaning it is over capacity by 91. 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 91 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on progress? How are the expedition trips organised for students?
