The deadline to choose secondary schools is fast approaching, with children not long back to school following the summer holiday.

Parents are asked to choose the secondary school for their child by Tuesday, October 31.

Missing the deadline means children are less likely to be offered a place at their chosen school.

The Observer has compiled a list of Slough’s secondary schools and their Ofsted ratings ranging from ‘inadequate’ – the lowest rank – to ‘outstanding’ – the highest rating.
