About Wraysbury Primary School

Wraysbury Primary School has turned a corner academically. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2025, inspectors awarded a Good rating across every category they judged — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That is a clear improvement from the previous inspection in 2023, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall and in all individual areas. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, that figure stood at 43 per cent, which is well below the local authority average of 64 per cent for similar schools. The school ranks 25th out of 28 primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead on this measure, placing it in the bottom half nationally.

Looking more closely at the individual subject results, reading is the strongest area: 67 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 104, and 30 per cent reached the higher standard. Writing and maths are weaker, with 50 per cent and 47 per cent achieving the expected level respectively, and only 3 per cent reaching the higher standard in writing. Maths had a higher proportion at the higher standard, at 13 per cent, and an average scaled score of 102. Progress scores are not available for the school, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school’s overall ranking score of 43 out of 100 on the expected standard metric places it in the bottom 50 per cent of schools nationally, and in the bottom 12 per cent of schools in the South East region.

The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 48 applications for 38 places and 28 first-preference offers made, giving a ratio of 1.26 applicants per place. It has a capacity of 420 and currently has 328 pupils on roll, so there is some headroom. Facilities include a gymnasium, sports hall, outdoor playground, ICT suite and a chapel. Sports on offer include athletics, swimming, tennis and cricket, and clubs range from book club and eco club to drama, science club and gardening. The school has identified SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. Parent views are mixed: 69 per cent would recommend the school, and 86 per cent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, but only 53 per cent agreed that concerns are dealt with properly. This is a school that has improved its Ofsted rating recently but still has work to do on academic outcomes and parental confidence.
