About King's Academy Easthampstead Park
King's Academy Easthampstead Park is a mixed state secondary in Bracknell Forest, one of seven schools of its type in the local authority. It sits fourth in the LA rankings by Progress 8 score, placing it in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers locally are Ranelagh School, Edgbarrow School, and King's Academy Binfield, all of which post higher Progress 8 scores. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Ranelagh School, 2.9 kilometres away. King's Academy Easthampstead Park itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2021, a rating it has maintained across its last two inspections. The school serves 1,031 pupils against a capacity of 1,250, and just over a quarter of its students are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average and gives a sense of the school's intake.
Academically, the school's Progress 8 score of -0.13 is below the Bracknell Forest average of -0.01, placing it in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. Its Attainment 8 score of 44.9 is modest, and 60.6% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, with 44.4% reaching grade 5 or above. The EBacc entry rate is 41.9%, and 26.3% of pupils entered the EBacc achieved a grade 4 or above. In the sixth form, the school's value-added score of 0.08 is rated Average, with students achieving an average of 29.16 points per entry, equivalent to a grade C. The best three A-levels averaged 28.77 points, also a C grade. Ofsted's 2021 inspection rated all areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — as Good, with no outstanding or requires improvement judgements.
The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 339 applications for 206 places, with 186 offers made to first-preference applicants. Facilities include a sixth form centre, sports hall, playing fields, music rooms, art studios, and a chapel. The school offers a wide range of sports and clubs, including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Young Enterprise, and debate. Its SEND provisions cover eight areas, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, and social, emotional and mental health support. This is a school that suits families looking for a Good-rated secondary with a broad curriculum and strong extracurricular offer, particularly those who value a sixth form on site. Its Progress 8 score is slightly below the LA average, so parents prioritising academic outcomes may want to compare it with higher-ranked local options.
