Schools in Windsor

Windsor Castle dominates this historic riverside town. Its royal residence stands immediately north of the River Thames in Berkshire's Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, adjacent to the town of Eton.

The South Western Main Line offers commuters and school-seeking families ready access to London Waterloo in around 45 minutes, drawing residents to several well-established neighbourhoods where Eton ranks among the most sought-after pockets for secondary catchments and Dedworth and Windsor form the primary-competitive heart to the south and east. Winkfield extends the suburban reach westward across established postcodes, and together these four neighbourhoods support a population of approximately 27,000 residents today.
