This follows a review of Windsor's first schools in response to a continued decline in the number of children needing school places. Like many areas across the country, Windsor has seen birth rates fall in recent years, leading to growing numbers of empty places in local schools.
The review found that falling pupil numbers have left Windsor with more school places than are needed, prompting a need to review provision and secure a sustainable future for local schools.
As school funding is closely linked to pupil numbers, growing numbers of empty places are increasing financial pressures and making it harder for some schools to remain viable in the longer term.
All Windsor first schools were evaluated using the same criteria, including future demand, parental preferences, educational performance, financial sustainability, SEND provision, travel impacts and community factors.
As a result, Cabinet is being asked to approve a public consultation on a proposal to close Alexander First School at the end of the 2027/28 academic year - giving parents, carers, pupils, staff, governors, residents and the wider community the chance to have their say before any final decision is made.
The proposals could also create an opportunity to expand specialist support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
If a first school site becomes available, the proposal would be to keep it in educational use and explore turning it into a specialist SEND and alternative education provision - helping meet growing demand for specialist places, allow more children to be educated closer to home and reduce the need for placements outside the borough.
Cabinet Member for Children's Services, Education and Windsor, Cllr Amy Tisi, said: "Windsor's first schools are at the heart of their communities, and this is not a proposal anyone would bring forward lightly. However, with pupil numbers continuing to fall, we have a responsibility to ensure our school system remains strong for future generations.
"The reality is that we cannot ignore growing numbers of empty school places. Taking action now will help protect the quality of education across Windsor and ensure schools have the resources they need to support children and young people.
"At the same time, this presents an opportunity to strengthen specialist SEND education in the borough, helping more children with additional needs access support closer to home.
“No decisions have been made, and I would encourage everyone with an interest in this proposal to take part in the consultation and have their say.”
If Cabinet agrees to proceed, a public consultation will begin in early November, with feedback helping to inform the final decision.
