St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School
Slough, SL3 7AF · Slough · Grammar school
1st 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 173 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.4/10 among them, against 9.8/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 98.1 · 98 | 30% | 2.96 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.93 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 77.3 · 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.

Getting in. There are 1178 pupils in a school with 894 places, meaning it is over capacity by 284. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status? What support is available for pupils to maintain their high attainment levels? How does the school ensure all students have access to extracurricular opportunities?
