About Cheapside CofE Primary School

Cheapside CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority, serving 168 pupils aged 4 to 11. It sits 18th out of 28 primary schools in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. The top-performing peers in the area are Lowbrook Academy, St Francis Catholic Primary School in South Ascot, and St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School and Nursery, all of which rank higher on the same metric. Cheapside’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in April 2025, confirmed that standards were maintained, and the school retains its Good rating from the previous graded inspection in December 2019. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 69 applications for 16 places, with 16 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.31. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation despite its middling ranking.
