Maidenhead primary schools

We’re buying a house in Maidenhead and I’d love some advice on primary schools. I’ve read all the OFSTED report back and front but real world advice would be amazing! We are looking at houses near Oldfield, Bray Wick, Riverside and Larchfield. I’m aware 2 are outstanding and two are good and the house prices were looking at reflect that. How good is good for Larchfield and Riverside? Any others I should look out for/avoid?

@0630bitlost You might need to look at admission criteria and the distance the schools admit. I’m in the next door county and parents cannot choose a school. Others get priority and it comes down to catchment and distance. So wanting and liking a school isn’t good enough if you live too far away and no one in your road ever gets a place there. So do a lot of research on the admission stats for each school. Often outstanding ones are very popular. Many schools don’t have in year vacancies either if you are looking for that. You can check with the LA.
