About Castleview Primary School

Castleview Primary School in Slough is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 107 applications for just 55 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.95, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. Of those, 51 were first-preference applications, and 51 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that most families who put it top got in. This level of demand is a strong signal that parents rate the school highly, and it aligns with the school’s Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2021. The inspection report noted Good marks across the board: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all rated Good, while early years provision also came in at Good. That’s a solid, consistent picture, and the fact that the school was previously rated Outstanding in 2006 gives some historical context, though the current rating is what matters for today’s parents.
