The Holt School
Wokingham, RG41 1EE · Wokingham · secondary school
1st of 9 secondary schools in Wokingham we can score, 10 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 266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3/10 among them, against 9.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 80.4 · 95 | 30% | 2.84 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.96 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 63.7 · 95 | 10% | 0.95 |
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. There are 1454 pupils in a school with 1500 places, leaving 46 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in maintaining their progress given the recent inspection date? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their standing relative to the national comparison? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its intake for new applicants?
