King's Academy Oakwood
About King's Academy Oakwood
King's Academy Oakwood is a primary school in Bracknell Forest that stands out clearly against the local average for its type. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. That seven-point gap places the school ninth out of 23 primary schools in Bracknell Forest, putting it comfortably in the top half of the borough. The school is also one of only two primaries in the local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, which it received following its most recent graded inspection in November 2023. With 209 pupils on roll and a capacity of 210, it is operating at near-full occupancy, and the 8.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average, suggesting a relatively advantaged intake. Headteacher Kerri-Anne Leavy leads a school that is clearly performing above the local norm on its headline academic measure.
