Schools in Slough

Developed around the Slough Trading Estate from its founding in 1920, Slough grew into one of the most ethnically diverse towns in the United Kingdom, drawing workers from across Britain and beyond for over a century. The town sits in the Thames Valley in Berkshire. Cippenham and Penn extend the western residential spread, while Chalvey occupies older inner districts closer to the town centre. Around 143,000 people live across the borough today, with global company headquarters, from logistics firms to technology brands, anchoring a working economy that continues to attract new residents from across the country.

Wexham, on the northern edge of the borough, has long been a school-competitive corner of Slough, sought by families who prioritise catchment positioning for their children. Elizabeth line services from Slough station reach Paddington in around twenty minutes.
