School Admissions: Frequently Asked Questions
Each home address within the Royal Borough has been designated a school which serves that area. In many cases it is the nearest school, but this is not always the case.
If you are unsure of your designated area schools, you can use our Maps Online facility. You will need to have your postcode to hand.
Detailed designated area maps are available in the main libraries in Ascot, Maidenhead and Windsor.
