About New Scotland Hill Primary School

New Scotland Hill Primary School is a mixed state primary in Bracknell Forest with a current roll of 220 pupils against a capacity of 236, meaning it is very close to full but not yet oversubscribed in terms of total places. The school’s percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 5.9%, which is notably lower than the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. However, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 55 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.04. Of those applicants, 24 put the school as their first preference, and exactly 24 first-preference offers were made, indicating that almost every family who wanted a place got one, but competition from outside the catchment is fierce. The school has nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it serves a mixed-gender cohort across the full primary age range.
