About schools in Wokingham
- How many schools are there in Wokingham?
- Wokingham has 83 open schools — 59 primary, 12 secondary, 5 special, 1 nursery, teaching 33,649 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Wokingham are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 51 of the 53 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 96% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 9 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 83: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Wokingham?
- 7.0 out of 10, averaged across the 59 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Wokingham schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 30 schools in Wokingham currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Wokingham local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Wokingham covers 83 schools and sits in the South East region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Wokingham are eligible for free school meals?
- 10.3% — 3,018 of 29,322 pupils at the 69 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
