Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Claycots School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Claycots School

Claycots School is a primary school in Slough, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 1,649 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Claycots School their first choice was offered one of its 69 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.5%. There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. Claycots School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
