Maidenhead & Windsor

Royal indsor and Maidenhead Borough pupils have collectively achieved a joint 12th place nationally in the Key Stage 2 tests held in May and published on Tuesday 1 December.

Overall, the indsor and Maidenhead borough's aggregate score - the percentage of pupils attaining level four or higher in English, maths and science - is 255 (out of a potential 300), joint 30th in England.

However the borough's average points score (APS) - which factors in the percentage of children achieving higher than the required level-four standard - is 28.5, joint 12th out of the 150 local authorities in the country. Last year the borough was joint 16th, on an APS of 28.4.

Schools were also assessed on their contextual value added (CVA), a measure of how effective each school has been in helping pupils progress.

Half of the 30 indsor and Maidenhead borough schools reporting results are in the top 40% performing schools nationally, and nine achieved a CVA significantly better than average - Lowbrook Primary, Datchet St Mary's CE Primary, St Mary's Catholic Primary, Furze Platt Junior, Larchfield Primary, St Michael's CE Primary, Oldfield Primary, Holy Trinity CE Primary in Cookham and Courthouse Junior.

Lowbrook was the highest placed borough school based on the CVA, achieving joint 50th in England.

Cllr Eileen Quick, lead member for children's services, said: "I am delighted that our pupils and schools have done so well and even improved on last year.

"I would like to congratulate the children on all their hard work and also the teachers, parents and carers who have helped them achieve these excellent results."
