About College Town Primary School

College Town Primary School in Bracknell Forest is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 478 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is operating well below its maximum size, yet demand is high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 96 applications for just 47 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.04. All 46 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is oversubscribed, it is a realistic option for those who prioritise it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.7%, which is notably lower than the national average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Trudi Sammons.
