About Lowbrook Academy

Lowbrook Academy is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its December 2022 inspection, but the most telling exam metric is this: 100% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. That compares with a local authority average of 64%, and it places the school first out of 28 primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead, second out of 2,034 primary schools in the South East region, and 20th nationally out of nearly 14,000 schools. The Ofsted breakdown shows Outstanding grades for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education and leadership and management are both Good. That pattern suggests a school where children are exceptionally well-behaved and personally developed from the start, even if the academic curriculum is still being refined. The previous inspection in 2008 rated the school Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating reflects a slight dip in leadership and quality of education, but the exam results suggest academic performance has not slipped.
