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

Every child who put Castleview Primary 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 Castleview Primary School

Castleview Primary School is a primary school in Slough, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 477 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 9.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 17% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 17% 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 Castleview Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 42 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.3%. There are about 22.0 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response. 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.
