About Maidenbower Junior School

Maidenbower Junior School is a mixed, state primary in Crawley, West Sussex, catering for pupils aged 7 to 11. With 579 pupils on roll against a capacity of 600, the school is effectively full, suggesting it is a popular choice for local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively less deprived intake compared with many schools nationally. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are handled by the local authority on a non-denominational basis. Demand appears strong given the near-capacity roll, though the school does not publish specific oversubscription figures. Headteacher Simon Pike leads a large junior school that draws from the surrounding Maidenbower area, a suburban part of Crawley with a mix of housing and good transport links.
