About schools in Windsor and Maidenhead
- How many schools are there in Windsor and Maidenhead?
- Windsor and Maidenhead has 83 open schools — 52 primary, 17 secondary, 4 special, 3 nursery, teaching 27,804 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Windsor and Maidenhead are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 55 of the 59 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 93% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 10 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 Windsor and Maidenhead?
- 5.7 out of 10, averaged across the 65 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 Windsor and Maidenhead schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 24 schools in Windsor and Maidenhead 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 Windsor and Maidenhead 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. Windsor and Maidenhead 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 Windsor and Maidenhead are eligible for free school meals?
- 15.5% — 3,502 of 22,653 pupils at the 66 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.
