St Luke's CofE Primary School
About St Luke's CofE Primary School
St Luke's CofE Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Windsor and Maidenhead, but its headline Ofsted rating tells a different story. The school is one of only seven primary schools in the local authority rated Outstanding, and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains at that level. However, when you look at the key stage 2 results, the picture is more mixed. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 56%, which falls below the local authority average of 64%. That places St Luke's 20th out of 28 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom third nationally. So while the school carries an Outstanding badge, its headline academic outcomes are notably weaker than the typical primary in the area.
