About King's Academy Binfield

King's Academy Binfield was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with inspectors awarding the top grade across all five categories including leadership, behaviour, personal development and the quality of education. The school's Progress 8 score of 0.02 tells the most informative story about its academic outcomes: pupils here achieve very slightly better than the national average, and notably above the Bracknell Forest local authority average of -0.01. That places King's Academy Binfield third out of seven state secondary schools in the borough, behind only Ranelagh School and Edgbarrow School. The school's Attainment 8 score of 47.3 means the average pupil achieves just under a grade 5 across their best eight GCSE subjects, while 70.5% of pupils secured a grade 4 or above in both English and maths.
