The Godolphin Junior Academy
About The Godolphin Junior Academy
The Godolphin Junior Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits comfortably above the Slough local authority average for primary schools. With 76% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, the school outperforms the LA average of 70% by six percentage points. This places it 9th out of 26 primary schools in Slough, putting it in the top 35% locally and the top 17% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 76 confirms it as a solidly above-average performer in a borough that includes six Outstanding-rated primaries. Given that Godolphin itself is rated Good by Ofsted, and that its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2025 noted it had ‘improved significantly’ since its previous graded inspection, the academic trajectory looks positive. The school serves a notably diverse intake, with 40.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, making its strong results all the more striking.
