Schools in Berkshire

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

The Berkshire listing on catchment.school covers schools within West Berkshire Council's administrative area. The five schools here include a mix of independent providers and specialist settings — St Gabriel's School and Upton House School are independent schools not bound by local authority admissions rounds. The average fill rate of 77% across schools with capacity data suggests available places, though independent school admissions follow their own timelines and selection processes.

For state school admissions in West Berkshire, the council publishes annual coordinated schemes covering both community and voluntary aided schools. Oversubscription criteria vary by school type — community schools typically prioritise looked-after children, then siblings, then distance from home to school.
