Schools in Ascot
One of England's most expensive small towns by house price, Ascot sits within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, its identity shaped by Ascot Racecourse and the annual Royal Ascot meeting. Around 12,000 people live across the civil parish.
South Ascot and Sunninghill draw families competing for primary places, while Ascot itself is widely regarded as one of Berkshire's most school-competitive postcodes. Sunningdale and Cheapside extend the residential fringe. Ascot station links the town to London Waterloo on the South Western Railway in around an hour, placing the area within reach of the capital while retaining a distinctly leafy character.
