How places are allocated in Windsor and Maidenhead

Primary schools: RBWM's term is 'designated area' — a dedicated 'School designated areas' page and postcode lookup tool exist. (source)

Secondary schools: Same 'designated area' scheme covers secondary admissions. (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.

Maidenhead straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Windsor and Maidenhead's, and Buckinghamshire also has schools here, applying under its own.
