King's Court First School

About King's Court First School

King's Court First School, a state primary in Windsor and Maidenhead, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2020 and an ungraded visit in 2025 that confirmed standards are being maintained. The school, which caters for children aged 4 to 9, received Good marks across every category in its 2020 inspection, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Its early years provision was also rated Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — likely because its pupils move on to a middle school before reaching Year 6 — the most informative academic metric available is the Ofsted judgement itself, which places the school in a solid position within the local authority. Of the 46 primary schools in Windsor and Maidenhead, only seven hold an Outstanding rating, meaning King's Court's Good status puts it in the majority of well-performing schools in the area.

The school's parent view survey, completed by 35 respondents between September 2024 and September 2025, paints a largely positive picture. An overwhelming 89% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. On academic expectations, 74% agreed or strongly agreed that the school has high expectations for their child, and 82% felt their child does well. Communication with parents also scores well: 86% agreed or strongly agreed that the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 86% felt the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. Behaviour is seen positively by 77% of parents, though 20% disagreed that pupils are well behaved. The school's handling of concerns drew a more mixed response, with 43% agreeing or strongly agreeing that concerns are dealt with properly, 26% disagreeing, and 31% saying the question was not applicable.

King's Court is a small school with 136 pupils against a capacity of 150, and it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 55 applications for 26 places, with 20 of those coming as first preferences. The school offers a range of facilities including a sports hall, ICT suite, playing fields, sensory room, forest school, gymnasium, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel. Clubs include eco club, coding, gardening, drama, film club, and book club, while sports on offer are football, cricket, dance, and netball. The school has identified SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. However, the parent view survey received zero responses to the question about SEND support, so it is not possible to gauge parental satisfaction in that area. This school will suit families looking for a well-regarded first school with a strong sense of community and a broad range of activities, particularly those who value the middle school system common in this part of Berkshire.
