About St Ethelbert's Catholic Primary School

St Ethelbert's Catholic Primary School in Slough has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards are being maintained. This represents a significant turnaround from the school's previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was rated Inadequate. The school now holds Good ratings for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most informative exam metric available, 63% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Slough local authority average of 70%, placing the school 18th out of 26 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the 50th percentile, and within the South East region it sits just below the midpoint. The school's ranking score of 63 places it in the bottom 50% of schools nationally, though it is worth noting that 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
