Wexham Court Primary School

About Wexham Court Primary School

Wexham Court Primary School is a large state primary in Slough, currently home to 655 pupils against a capacity of 708, meaning it runs close to full but with a small amount of headroom. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 21.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of roughly 24% and a Slough average that tends to sit slightly higher. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.91. Of those, 41 were first-preference applications, and all 41 received offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, most families who put it first do get in. The school is non-religious, mixed-gender, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three. Its headteacher is Navroop Mehat, who leads a team that has recently been inspected by Ofsted.

Academically, Wexham Court sits in the bottom half of Slough primary schools, ranking 21st out of 26 in the local authority on the key stage 2 reading, writing and maths expected standard measure. In the 2023/24 results, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, below the Slough LA average of 70%. The school’s strongest individual subject was writing, where 83% met the expected standard, followed by maths at 82% and reading at 66%. At the higher standard, the picture is more mixed: 22% reached the higher level in reading, 16% in maths, and 14% in writing, with just 8% hitting the higher bar across all three. Average scaled scores were 105 in maths and 104 in reading. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in April 2025, was ungraded and confirmed that standards were maintained, with the overall effectiveness remaining Good — an improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2014.

The school offers a decent range of facilities including a Forest School, sports hall, ICT suite and dining hall, with sports such as swimming, athletics, cricket and rounders on offer. Clubs include drama, film, gardening, eco and coding. For children with additional needs, the school lists support for a broad spectrum of conditions including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health needs — though the Parent View data shows no responses from SEND families, so it’s hard to gauge how well that support works in practice. The wider Parent View feedback, based on 29 responses, is largely positive: 90% would recommend the school, and strong majorities agreed that children are happy (97% strongly agree or agree) and feel safe (93%). The school is oversubscribed but not prohibitively so, making it a realistic option for local families who want a Good-rated primary with a nursery and a broad extracurricular offer, particularly if they value writing outcomes and a calm, well-behaved environment.
