7th of 26 primary schools in Bracknell Forest we can score, 29 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 2,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 73.0 · 73 | 41% | 2.99 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 26% | 1.02 |
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 Warfield Church of England Primary School
Overview
Warfield Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where staff are ambitious for pupils to do well and pupils respond positively to high expectations. The report highlights a calm and orderly environment with positive relationships, noting that pupils feel safe and value their friendships. While early reading and mathematics are strong, curriculum development in other subjects is still maturing following staffing changes and the pandemic.
Strengths
- Early reading teaching is effective, with staff providing swift support for struggling readers and pupils loving shared books.
- Mathematics lessons challenge pupils, helping them build on prior learning and develop fluency with number.
- Positive relationships exist between pupils and staff, with pupils finding staff easy to talk to about worries.
- Pupils behave well, listen carefully, and contribute to a calm environment, valuing respect for others’ beliefs.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff receiving high-quality training and reporting concerns promptly.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum thinking in subjects other than mathematics and English is underdeveloped; leaders must precisely identify key knowledge and skills in every subject.
- Not all staff consistently check during lessons that pupils have learned the most important content, sometimes wasting learning time.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with detailed records showing leaders work well with external agencies to keep children safe.
