About Hilltop First School

Hilltop First School in Windsor and Maidenhead is a state primary for ages 3 to 9 that is running at full capacity with 217 pupils against a published capacity of 216. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 21.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand is exceptionally strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 110 applications for just 32 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.44 to one. Of those, 29 were first-preference applications, and 29 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put Hilltop first secured a place, but competition for the remaining three places from other preferences was fierce. The school is non-denominational with no religious character, and offers nursery provision for younger children, making it a genuinely local option for families across the area.
