Schools in Wokingham
Wokingham has 36 schools administered across two local authorities: most town schools are under Wokingham Borough Council, while some schools in the Finchampstead and Sandhurst areas may fall under Bracknell Forest Borough Council. Berkshire retains grammar schools, and Wokingham Borough operates both selective and non-selective secondary schools - families must register for the Berkshire 11-plus by June in Year 5 if considering grammar school entry.
For community primary admissions, Wokingham Borough uses straight-line distance as the main tiebreaker. The borough has seen significant housing growth in areas such as Arborfield and Shinfield, with new schools opening to serve new developments. Families in newer housing estates should check which school's catchment area applies to their specific address, as admissions policies for recently-built schools can differ from neighbouring long-established schools.
School demand in Wokingham

7 schools in Wokingham have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
19 of the schools in Wokingham are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Wokingham, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
12 of the schools in Wokingham have a current Ofsted rating, of which 12 are rated Good or Outstanding. Demand and catchment distance tend to be tightest at the highest-rated schools.
