The Windsor Boys' School
Windsor, SL4 5EH · Windsor and Maidenhead · secondary school
4th of 10 secondary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead we can score, 14 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 848 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 52.6 · 70 | 30% | 2.09 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.14 · 60 | 25% | 1.50 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.8 · 61 | 10% | 0.61 |
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 990 pupils in a school with 990 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
