10th of 27 primary schools in Slough we can score, 28 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 4,206 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 The Langley Academy Primary
Overview
The report confirms the school remains outstanding, though inspectors noted that a graded inspection might yield a lower judgement. It describes a vibrant environment where pupils are “happy” with a “thirst for learning” and high aspirations. The school has doubled in size since the last inspection, successfully integrating Key Stage 2 while maintaining excellent behaviour and a strong culture of kindness.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “secure knowledge” in subjects like religious education and benefit from a “broad, exciting and ambitious” curriculum.
- Teachers possess “secure subject knowledge” and adapt learning effectively to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Reading is prioritised as the “bedrock” of the school, with “expert teaching of phonics” ensuring pupils learn to read quickly.
- The school fosters a strong “moral compass,” helping pupils understand diversity, discrimination, and online safety.
- Attendance is high due to a “relentless approach” to ensuring pupils do not miss out on learning opportunities.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers lack clarity on the “most important knowledge that pupils need to remember over time,” hindering long-term retention.
- The school must ensure teachers use this clarity to inform teaching and assessment so pupils “learn exceptionally well across the curriculum.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
