About Boyne Hill CofE Infant and Nursery School

If you're a parent considering Boyne Hill CofE Infant and Nursery School, the numbers suggest you'd be in good company. In the most recent Parent View survey, 96% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents, a figure based on 57 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025. That confidence is reflected in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 194 applications for just 61 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.18. Of those, 40 families put it as their first preference, and 38 received an offer. Parents were particularly positive about their children's happiness, with 89% strongly agreeing that their child is happy at the school, and 86% strongly agreeing that their child feels safe. The school's Church of England character and its nursery provision for children aged three to seven make it a popular choice for local families in the Windsor and Maidenhead area.

Academically, the school holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, with all graded areas — quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — each judged Good. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Outstanding overall. The school serves 209 pupils, with 9% eligible for free school meals. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results — it is an infant school taking children only up to age seven — the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Windsor and Maidenhead stands at 64. For context, the local authority contains 46 primary schools, of which seven are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School and Nursery, 0.9 kilometres away.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, music rooms, gymnasium, playing fields, forest school and a chapel. Sports on offer include rounders, gymnastics, cross country, dance, tennis and netball, and there are clubs for coding, choir and gardening. The school has identified SEND provisions for social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, physical disability, and other difficulties or disabilities. With a capacity of 240 and currently 209 pupils, there is some room, though the oversubscription figures show it is a competitive school to get into. This is a school that suits families looking for a Church of England infant setting with strong parent satisfaction, a broad range of activities, and a clear focus on early years development in a popular Berkshire town.
