About St Crispin's School

St Crispin's School in Wokingham posts a Progress 8 score of 0.52, which is well above the local authority average of 0.21 for secondary schools. That gap of 0.31 is significant — it means pupils here make around a third of a grade more progress per subject than the typical student across Wokingham. The school ranks third out of nine state secondaries in the area, putting it in the top third locally, and nationally it sits in the top 15% of all schools for progress. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2013, rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The previous inspection in 2010 had awarded Outstanding across the board, so the current rating represents a step down, but the leadership team has held onto its Outstanding grade, which suggests strong direction from headteacher Peter Griffiths.
