How Do We Calculate Rankings?

Our school rankings are meticulously determined through a rigorous process:

• Factor Selection: We choose relevant factors for the ranking, balancing statistical accuracy and practical relevance.
• Data Evaluation: We assess data quality, ensuring it distinguishes schools and is accurate. Bayesian methods are used for user-generated data
• Standardized Scores: Factors are converted into standardized scores (z-scores) for fair comparison among schools.
• Weight Assignment: We assign weights to factors, preventing any single factor from overly influencing rankings. We consider user preferences and industry research.
• Overall Score: Each school's overall score is calculated by applying weights to individual factor scores.
• Data Completeness: Schools missing over 50% of data are excluded. Those with at least 50% data but lacking required factors get a grade but not a numerical ranking. Eligible schools have all factors and 500+ full-time undergraduates.
• Ranking and Grades: Qualified schools are numerically ranked based on z-scores. Grades are assigned using the ordered z-scores, following a standard distribution.

This meticulous process ensures our rankings provide accurate and meaningful insights for your school choices.

Teacher Assessments

About Ofsted

Ofsted have been inspecting schools on a regular basis since 2005. After a cursory warning period they undertake a thorough examination of the whole school. Inspectors will sit in on classes, assessing each teacher's teaching ability. They will also evaluate the way the current curriculum is implemented, and how the progress of each student is tracked throughout their tenure.

Each school is graded on a four point scale: 1 being outstanding, 2 being good, 3 means they require improvement, and 4 signifying inadequate. Those schools attaining an outstanding or good grade might not be re-inspected for as long as five years; while those receiving lower grades will be reassessed with greater frequency, with little or no notice prior to the inspectors arriving.

Shinfield St Mary's CE Junior School moves from 'special measures' to 'good' in Ofsted ratings in three years

Head: "An outcome like this, it makes all the hard work and effort worthwhile and rewarding."

A rapidly improving village school has within three years moved from requiring ‘special measures’ and is now judged to be ‘good’.

Teachers at Shinfield St Mary’s CE Junior School are aiming for an outstanding future after a winter inspection continued the school’s upward trajectory.

The school in Chestnut Crescent was placed in special measures in 2009 after a series of changes in leadership led to disruption, lack of direction and inconsistencies across the teaching and management.

A new governing body was installed in 2011 and the school was ranked ‘satisfactory’ by inspectors.

A December inspection, published online last week, has now judged the school to be ‘good’.

Following the inspection, headteacher Clare Wagstaff announced she will be leaving.

She joined the school in April 2011 and by September of that year she was headteacher.

Mrs Wagstaff said: “The school has been on a journey but with an outcome like this, it makes all the hard work and effort worthwhile and rewarding.

“It has been a privilege to lead such a committed staff team over the last three years and it is testament to the strong team ethos that the progress and achievements of our children have been recognised by Ofsted.”

She added: “The ‘good’ Ofsted inspection leaves the school with a solid platform to continue its progress towards ‘outstanding’. The children here are a delight and the school in all areas has significantly improved.”

Mrs Wagstaff will take the role of headteacher at St Teresa’s Catholic Primary school in Wokingham from September after previously working there as deputy headteacher.

Mark Taylor, chair of governors, said: “This is a well deserved outcome and the culmination of a huge amount of effort from everyone involved with the school both past and present.

“We are an ambitious school that strives to be at the centre community of Shinfield and to become an outstanding school.”

Reading, writing and maths results have all improved over the past three years.

The Ofsted report states: “Since the previous inspection, improvements have continued. Teaching is now consistently good and some is outstanding.”

In Saxon times, Shinfield was served by the Minster at Sonning . The first church in the parish was built by order of the lord of the manor, William FitzOsbern, the Earl of Hereford, in 1069. He features in the modern window at the end of the south aisle. FitzOsbern gave the church, and its sub-chapel at Swallowfield , to his monastic foundation in Lire (France) but foreign abbeys were not popular in England and it was confiscated during Edward I's reign. In 1320, it was given to the Dean & Chapter of Hereford and its profits used for the rebuilding of their Cathedral. Seven years later, they passed the church to the Bishop of Worcester in thanks for his help in obtaining the canonization of their former master, St. Thomas Cantilupe .  The present building at Shinfield was largely put up in the decorated style of the 14th century, and still retains the original nave roof with a fine array of huge timbers in an uncommon form. It does, however, incorporate parts of an older building, as particularly evidenced by its good Norman doorway (late 12th century). The South or Martyn Chapel was added in the last years of the 16th century by the lord of the manor, Edward Martyn, as recorded on a tablet outside: 'EM 1596'. His renaissance style wall monument has been moved to the south aisle. Though his wife and daughter are prominently displayed, unfortunately his own kneeling figure has disappeared. The contemporary ceiling of the chapel is wood panelled with moulded ribs and decorative bosses. Some of the fittings in the south aisle are also of this period, including the grand Elizabethan altar table and the Jacobean chest. The superb monument to Henry Beke (died 1580) of Hartley Court, which was so admired by John Betjeman, is one of the finest in the county. he has a second memorial at the west end of the nave, alongside an unusual monument to a young boy called Huick Steward, whose family heraldry records their supposed descent from the Royal Stuarts. He was the brother of Lady Forster of Aldermaston House and of Simeon Steward, the poet. The hatchments are Victorian, one to a vicar and two to the Hulme family of Shinfield Grove, relatives of the Breedons of Bere Court whose hatchments are so prolific in the parish church at Pangbourne . During the Civil War, a group of retreating Royalist troops took refuge in Shinfield Church and took up a strategic position at the top of the tower. However, the Parliamentarians soon arrived and, surrounding the building, blasted the men out of the sky! The tower was thus left a ruin and, it was not rebuilt until four years after the Restoration of the Monarchy, in 1664. It was then decided to rebuild in Berkshire brick, the clay for which was dug from the fields opposite. It has very lively friezes or string-courses marking the division of each storey. It may be surmised that much of the tower masonry  fell onto the south aisle as the roof there was restored around the same time; and buttresses were added to the Martyn Chapel. The Vicar of Shinfield had been ousted in 1646 for "lewd behaviour"! He, however, appointed a local cordwainer, and anabaptist preacher, in his place who served the local community throughout the Commonwealth period. However, at the Restoration, the vicar was ordered to return. Both he and his replacement protested and the preacher, being popular with the locals, brought sixty "stout fellows" from Reading to support his claim. The final outcome of the dispute is, however, unknown. This is not the official Shinfield Church website. Please do NOT mail me about use of the church.
