Schools in Ascot
Ascot has 14 schools within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, including 6 primaries and Charters School as the secondary serving the area. The catchment covers Ascot village, Sunningdale, North Ascot, South Ascot and surrounding parishes in the affluent Windsor Forest belt.
Seven of the 14 schools are faith-designated - an unusually high proportion driven by the area's historic Church of England village schools. Only 2 of the 14 are academy schools, so the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead retains more direct coordination than many areas. Average fill rate is 86% with no schools currently at or above capacity, so place pressure is moderate. All 4 schools with Ofsted ratings are Good or Outstanding.
School demand in Ascot
Across the 14 schools in Ascot with published capacity data, the average fill rate is 86%. None are currently over capacity, but catchment distance still applies in any year a school is oversubscribed.
7 schools in Ascot have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
2 of the schools in Ascot are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Windsor and Maidenhead, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
4 of the schools in Ascot have a current Ofsted rating, of which 4 are rated Good or Outstanding. Demand and catchment distance tend to be tightest at the highest-rated schools.
