Sandhurst School
Sandhurst, GU47 0SD · Bracknell Forest · secondary school
4th 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 773 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 4.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
