Check the area around this school
13th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.2/10 against 4,166 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 South Ascot Village Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that "aspects of the school’s work may not be as strong as at the time of the previous inspection," triggering a future graded inspection. While pupils are described as happy, polite, and engaged in a broad curriculum with high expectations for those with special educational needs, significant inconsistencies in teaching quality and attendance have been identified.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and enjoy each school day," valuing rewards, assemblies, and enrichment trips such as the visit to McLaren.
- Behaviour is positive; pupils are "polite and respectful" and "feel safe and supported" by adults.
- The specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND, 'The Canopy', offers "high levels of personalised support" where pupils succeed and participate fully in school life.
- Teachers are "enthusiastic" and encourage curiosity, with pupils showing engagement in subjects like geography and early years activities.
Areas to improve
- The reading curriculum and phonics teaching are inconsistent and imprecise, leaving some pupils with gaps in knowledge and preventing them from becoming "confident and fluent readers."
- Checks on learning in the wider curriculum are insufficient, meaning pupils do not always retain prior knowledge or understand how learning connects over time.
- Attendance is a concern, with "too many pupils" being persistently absent, requiring further development of strategies to secure regular attendance.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
