About Larchfield Primary and Nursery School

Larchfield Primary and Nursery School in Windsor and Maidenhead is a state primary that serves a notably diverse intake. With 226 pupils on roll against a capacity of 246, the school is operating close to full but not oversubscribed in terms of total places. The real demand signal comes from its admissions data: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 96 applications for just 31 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.1 to one, with 24 of those offers going to first-preference families. This suggests strong local appeal. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 38.5%, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools, indicating that Larchfield serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three, making it a full primary option for local families.
