About Furze Platt Junior School

Furze Platt Junior School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. While the overall effectiveness was not formally judged on that occasion, inspectors awarded the highest possible mark of Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. That is a notable shift from the school’s previous inspection in 2018, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 72 per cent. That is comfortably above the local authority average of 64 per cent for primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead, and it places the school 10th out of 28 similar schools in the borough. In the wider South East region, it sits in the top quarter of all primary schools by this measure.
