Reputation

Slough Grammar is known as a multicultural school that has achieved a remarkably happy coexistence of students from diverse ethnic backgrounds (Good School Guide 2006/Ofsted). The school is committed to its international school status, and to the understanding of other cultures as well as other languages. The recent OFSTED inspection report (2004) describes Slough Grammar as "overall a very good school"[1], and the school was placed on the Ofsted list of "Particularly Successful Schools" - 2005[2]. It was placed second in the Slough area based on results from the 2006 GCSE exams. The IB courses offered put it into a different category for the 6th form and one should be aware of this when viewing league tables. The IB results were strong in 2006 and this has had a slight knock on effect in reducing the overall grade spread at A level.
