About St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Maidenhead

St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Maidenhead was judged Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023. The school received Good marks across all five graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 53 per cent. That is notably below the local authority average of 64 per cent for similar schools, and it places the school 22nd out of 28 primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits in the 73rd percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of primary schools nationally have a lower combined expected score.
