The Alwyn and Courthouse Federation
The Alwyn and Courthouse Federation is a dynamic partnership of an infant and a junior school in Maidenhead, Berkshire. As a maintained federation under a single Governing Board, we are committed to genuine collaboration—working in close partnership with our children, their families, and our dedicated staff to ensure the best possible start for every pupil.
Our Vision for Every Child
Throughout our federation, we strive to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their starting points, leave us better prepared for the next stage of their learning journey. We work hard to foster a supportive, nurturing, and genuinely inclusive environment for every child in our care.
We celebrate the diversity of our schools as a powerful strength and hold high aspirations for all our learners. Everything we do is driven by the desire to provide the richest possible experience for all the children in the Alwyn and Courthouse Federation.

Our Values |
What This Means in Practice |
| Kindness | We cultivate an environment where mutual respect is paramount. We understand that practising kindness makes our schools wonderful places for all to learn and work, and is essential for positive mental health and wellbeing. |
| Belonging | We prioritise creating a deep sense of community where every child and family feels they are integral to Alwyn and Courthouse. When children feel they belong, they are happier, safer, and better positioned to flourish. |
| Choices | We empower our pupils to become confident, ethical decision-makers. As children progress, we teach them the importance of distinguishing right from wrong and developing the courage to do the right thing, even when it presents a challenge. |
| Adventure | This value drives curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to embrace the new. We empower children to try challenging things, ask deep questions, take safe and sensible risks, and learn constructively from mistakes. |
