Check the area around this school
5th of 15 secondary schools in Slough we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 273 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2/10 among them, against 9.7/10 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 | 85 | 35% | 2.99 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 99.4 · 99 | 30% | 2.98 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.75 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 78.0 · 99 | 10% | 0.99 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
