Cookham Rise Primary School

Cookham Rise Primary School is a mixed community school located in Maidenhead, serving 208 pupils with a capacity for 210. The school emphasizes a welcoming and inclusive environment, aiming for every child to 'shine' through a varied and engaging curriculum. Recent initiatives, such as the OPAL outdoor play project, have enhanced the school’s approach to learning and play, fostering a positive atmosphere during lunchtimes.

The school is committed to high academic standards and personal development, as highlighted by its OFSTED inspection in April 2022, which praised the leadership's expectations for pupil achievement.

Community involvement is a key aspect of the school’s ethos, supported by an active parent association (PTA) and a focus on collaboration with families. The school’s development plans include enhancing play facilities and improving educational provisions, particularly for children with special educational needs and those eligible for pupil premium support.
