About Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School

Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Windsor and Maidenhead, currently teaching 227 pupils against a capacity of 245, meaning it has some headroom but is clearly in demand. The school received 79 total applications for its 30 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 36 families putting it as their first preference — 25 of those received offers. That works out at 2. 63 applications per place, a solid oversubscription ratio for a village primary. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 26. 3% of children are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a genuinely mixed catchment. With a nursery on site, it takes children from age three, and its religious character as a CofE school will appeal to families who want a faith-based setting without a selective admissions policy.
