Schools in Crowthorne

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

Crowthorne is a village in Bracknell Forest borough in Berkshire, best known as the home of Wellington College and Broadmoor Hospital. The 6 state schools in this area are coordinated by Bracknell Forest Borough Council, which applies a nearest-school tiebreaker for oversubscribed community schools.

Bracknell Forest does not operate a grammar school system. Secondary pupils from Crowthorne typically attend Edgbarrow School in the village or schools in Bracknell town, such as Sandhurst and Garth Hill College. The area borders Wokingham borough, so families near the boundary should check whether any Wokingham schools are closer.

Primary school catchment areas in Crowthorne are defined by Bracknell Forest Council and reviewed periodically. Families should download the current admissions booklet from the council's website and check the specific intake range for each school before the application deadline.
