How to read this
Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Windsor Girls' School is oversubscribed, places go outward from the school until they run out, so the distance moves each year with how many families applied and where they lived.
Distances are measured from the postcode's centre, not a front door; a postcode covers a few houses. Siblings, looked-after children come before distance, so a school can fill before distance counts at all.
With no distance limit the map shows the school and the postcode you check, and claims nothing about a boundary.
The address on the closing date is the one the council uses. How admissions work.
One published year so far: 2025/26, from Windsor and Maidenhead. With two or more, the map can draw any of them.

Common questions
What is the catchment area for Windsor Girls' School?
Windsor Girls' School does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2025/26 lived 26.15 miles away, per Windsor and Maidenhead.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Windsor Girls' School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 26.15 miles was enough in 2025/26. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.
Does buying a house near Windsor Girls' School guarantee a place?
No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
