Trevelyan Middle School

About Trevelyan Middle School

Trevelyan Middle School sits within the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority, one of 14 state secondary schools in the area. It is a mixed, non-denominational middle school for pupils aged 9 to 13, with a capacity of 600 and currently 589 pupils on roll. In the local landscape, its top-performing peers include Newlands Girls' School, Holyport College, and Furze Platt Senior School, though Trevelyan occupies a distinct niche as a middle school rather than a traditional secondary. The school is led by headteacher Mark Pritchard and was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement in 2015. The ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained, with inspectors awarding Outstanding marks for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. This places Trevelyan in a strong position locally, especially given that only one other school in the authority holds an Outstanding overall rating.

Academically, Trevelyan’s most recent Ofsted report rated the quality of education as Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. The school does not have a sixth form, so its focus is firmly on the middle years. While the data does not include specific Progress 8 or KS2 SATs scores for the school, the local authority average Progress 8 score is 0.18, which is above the national average and suggests a generally strong academic environment across Windsor and Maidenhead. Parent feedback from the Ofsted Parent View survey, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, is broadly positive: 89% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 92% agreed or strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school also scores well on high expectations, with 83% of parents agreeing or strongly agreeing that the school has high expectations for their child, and 87% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child does well.

Trevelyan offers a wide range of facilities including a swimming pool, theatre, music rooms, art studios, and science labs, alongside sports such as rowing, hockey, and netball. Clubs include Science Club, Choir, Orchestra, Young Enterprise, and Model UN, giving pupils plenty of enrichment opportunities. The school has a strong SEND provision, supporting conditions including dyslexia, autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and physical disabilities. 85% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that SEND children receive the support they need. The school is oversubscribed, with 589 pupils against a capacity of 600, and 13.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average. Trevelyan is a good fit for families seeking a middle school that bridges primary and secondary years, with strong pastoral care and a clear focus on personal development, all within a well-regarded local authority.
