About Wessex Primary School

Wessex Primary School sits well below the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 51% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 64%. That gap of 13 percentage points places the school 23rd out of 28 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 84% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, which is a solid result, but only 52% did so in writing and 75% in reading. At the higher standard, just 5% of pupils achieved the top level across all three subjects, and only 7% hit the higher threshold in writing. These figures suggest the school is struggling to push its most able pupils further, particularly in literacy, while maths performance is a relative bright spot.
