Key stage 3 results put Wokingham pupils at the top of the class!
Pupils from across the Wokingham borough are celebrating some of the best key stage 3 results across the country– after being ranked fifth nationally overall, based on an average point score taking into account English, maths and science.
Results released this week by the Department for Children, Schools and Families for exams taken at the end of key stage 3 (11 to 14-year-olds), show that pupils in the Wokingham borough achieved high levels, with many achieving above the national level 5 benchmark.
The Wokingham borough’s pupils were ranked as the top performing across the country in maths at level 5, with results putting them as first in the national league table. In both English and science they were ranked third at level five.
At level six, which represents academic understanding and attainment above the national average, the borough’s pupils were ranked fourth for maths and science and ninth for English.
At level 7, a new level which is awarded for academic excellence in the three subjects, saw the borough’s schools ranked fifth for both science and maths and 11th for English when compared to other education authorities across the country.
The results reflect the exams sat by year nine pupils last summer and continue to put the council among the top performing education authorities in the country.
Cllr Norman Jorgensen, executive member for Wokingham children’s services, said: “These results reflect a lot of hard work by pupils and teachers, whose dedication and commitment to achieving excellence has really paid off. This high level of attainment will stand pupils in good stead for the future.

“To be ranked first for maths at level 5 in the country at key stage 3 is a real triumph for the borough’s schools. And to come third nationally for results in English and science is also fantastic news and shows the true quality of teaching and learning that we have in schools across the Wokingham borough.
“Year on year results at key stage 3 have continually put us as one of the top perfoming authorities across the country. Maintaining high levels at key stage 3 helps provide our schoolchildren with the best possible start for their GCSEs, and I hope this will ensure even more pupils will be successful as they continue their education.”
