Wexham School
Slough, SL2 5QP · Slough · secondary school
12th of 15 secondary schools in Slough we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.1/10 against 815 of them, against 1.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 32.8 · 23 | 30% | 0.68 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.83 · 5 | 25% | 0.13 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 39.3 · 18 | 10% | 0.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 32.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.83 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Science Club, Learning Mentor Clubs, Homework Clubs, and Bar Mock Trials. Sports include basketball, football, netball, gymnastics, badminton, rugby, and cricket. Arts activities feature theatre trips, while other trips include visits to art galleries and museums, author visits, yearly residentials, reward trips, and attendance trips. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1212 pupils in a capacity of 1200, meaning it is over capacity by 12. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils close the attainment gap? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
