Alwyn Infant School
About Alwyn Infant School
Alwyn Infant School in Windsor and Maidenhead is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7, currently home to 244 pupils against a capacity of 270. That leaves some headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for its 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 179 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.98. Only 41 of those applicants put it as their first preference, and all 41 were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 13.5%, which is above the national average for primary schools in England (around 23%) but worth noting in the context of a relatively affluent local authority. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Lawrence Hyatt. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, which is typical for an infant school.
