About Braywick Court School

Braywick Court School is a state primary in Windsor and Maidenhead that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 260 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 8.67 to one. Of those, 64 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand is a strong signal of local reputation. The school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a grade it held in its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, where inspectors noted the school remains Outstanding. With 258 pupils on roll against a capacity of 246, it is slightly over its official number, which is common for popular primaries. Around 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average.

Academically, Braywick Court performs well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Windsor and Maidenhead average of 64%. That puts the school 6th out of 28 primaries in the LA, and in the top 25% nationally. Results in individual subjects are strong: 93% met the expected standard in reading, 87% in maths and 87% in writing. At the higher standard, 13% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 109 in reading and 108 in maths, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school does not have a sixth form, as it is a primary, but it does offer nursery provision for children from age two.

The school sits on a site with a library, dining hall, ICT suite, music rooms, playing fields and an outdoor playground. There is also a sensory room and a Forest School programme, which suggests an emphasis on outdoor learning. Sports on offer include gymnastics, football, cricket, rounders and swimming. Clubs include book club, coding and chess. For children with additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, and autistic spectrum disorder. Braywick Court is a mixed, non-religious school with no formal religious character. It will suit families who want a high-performing, oversubscribed primary with strong academic results and a broad range of facilities, and who are prepared to navigate a competitive admissions process.
