School overview

The Windsor Boys' School is a boys' secondary school serving Windsor and Maidenhead, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 990 pupils aged 13 to 18 on roll. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 47.8, broadly in line with the national average of 46. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 39% of secondary schools nationally.

53% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 72% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 3.96 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 91% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.4%. There are about 18.7 pupils per teacher. The Windsor Boys' 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 above.
