Wallingford School
Wallingford, OX10 8HH · Oxfordshire · secondary school
11th of 40 secondary schools in Oxfordshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 709 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7/10 among them, against 8.0/10 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 | 62.9 · 86 | 30% | 2.57 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.31 · 73 | 25% | 1.83 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.9 · 82 | 10% | 0.82 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Army Cadet Force, play netball, football, and rugby, and enter the Merchant Taylors' Company Photography Competition. Trips include a French Exchange and a World Challenge. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1437 pupils in a capacity of 1515, leaving 78 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their progress scores relative to similar-intake peers? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new students given the current enrolment levels?
