About Alderwood School

Alderwood School is an all-through school in Aldershot, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 1,514 pupils aged 4 to 16 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 4.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 42.2, below the national average of 46. On our composite score, Alderwood School ranks in the top 23% of primary schools nationally for its primary (KS2) results. For its secondary (KS4) results, it ranks in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). At Key Stage 4, 40% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. Alderwood School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
