Welcome to our School Admissions and New Starters Page 

If you are visiting this page, it is likely that your child is about to begin their first experience of school — the start of an exciting learning journey. We are committed to ensuring this transition is happy, positive, and successful. 

If you are considering joining us at another point during the year, or in a different year group, we are equally dedicated to making your child’s transition smooth and welcoming. 

We are a first school in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, educating children from Reception through to Year 4 (ages 4–9). 

We are proud of our school community and invite you to watch the video on our homepage, which offers a virtual tour and highlights our children’s achievements. 

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 

Our Early Years provision offers a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to thrive. Through a balance of teacher-led activities and child-initiated play, we create meaningful learning experiences that support development across all areas. 

Our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and independence, helping children to develop their intellectual, emotional, and social skills. This strong foundation ensures a smooth and confident transition into Key Stage 1. 

Applying for a Place at King’s Court First School 

All admissions are administered by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). Children start in the Early Years Foundation Stage in the September following their fourth birthday. 

If your child is starting school or transferring from another school, you will need to complete an application through RBWM.

What Ofsted Says About Our School 

Ofsted May 2025 

Early Years Provision 

“The school maintains a strong focus on developing early reading and writing skills. Pupils access a range of diverse texts across the curriculum that foster a love of reading.” 

Provision Across the School 

“From the early years onwards, pupils learn to apply early numbers, as well as shape and space facts, securely. As they progress, most pupils confidently apply their knowledge and use methods to solve a range of mathematical problems.” 

What Our Children Say 

“I love that we get the chance to read every day. Teachers help me to understand my work. I enjoy the different challenges and going for gold. I thank all the teachers at King’s Court for keeping us safe, especially when things have been different.” 
Age 9 

“I like learning while spending time with my friends. Our teachers make sure we don’t repeat things we already know — we are always learning something new and challenging ourselves.” 
Age 7 

“King’s Court is a place to have fun and enjoy learning. We are lucky to have a lovely new library and lots of opportunities in sports and the arts.”
