Churchmead School is a co-educational Church of England voluntary aided secondary school that caters for 11- to 16-year-olds. It is located in Datchet, near Slough, England. The school's motto is "Believe to Achieve". The school has also gained Specialist Arts College status. In December 2015 Churchmead school was rated as "good" by Ofsted and "outstanding" by a church inspection. Ofsted inspected the school again in 2019 and it continues to be rated as "good". In 2017 54 per cent of students got grade 4 or above in English and maths. In English 74 per cent got at least a grade 4 and 59 per cent got grade 5 or above. In 2016 Churchmead got its best ever GCSE results. 69 per cent of pupils got 5 GCSEs including English and maths. 59 per cent of disadvantaged pupils got 5 GCSEs including English and maths. It is now rated in the top 10 per cent of schools nationally for progress. Churchmead was established as a secondary modern school for Buckinghamshire County Council, who, in the south of the county, operated a system of 11- to 18-year-old secondary schools, fed by 5-11 primary schools (or 5-7 infant schools and 7-11 junior schools). Changes to administrative county boundaries in 1974 led to the school transferring to Berkshire County Council, who operated it as a school within Slough's education system, by then modified for the change from primary to secondary education to take place at age 12 rather than 11. Further changes led to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead becoming the Education Authority in 1998. The rest of the Windsor area of Windsor and Maidenhead uses a system with age 9-13 middle schools so leaving Churchmead as the only 11-18 school in its area of the borough. This in turn results in most students being drawn from Slough, which has resumed secondary education starting at age 11.Starting September 2008, the four house system that has been in existence since the school was founded, was scrapped for a three house inter-year form system.

Datchet is a village and civil parish in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England, located on the north bank of the River Thames. Historically part of Buckinghamshire, and the Stoke Hundred, the village was eventually transferred to Berkshire, under the Local Government Act of 1972. The village developed because of its close proximity to Windsor and the ferry service which connected it to the main London Road across the River Thames. The ferry was later replaced by a road bridge at the foot of the High Street, which was rebuilt three times. There is also a rail bridge approaching Windsor across the river, and two road bridges above and below the village.

The house is located on the Frogmore estate, which is situated within the grounds of the Home Park in Windsor, Berkshire. Half a mile (800 m) south of Windsor Castle, Frogmore was let to a number of tenants until the late 18th century, when it was used intermittently as a residence for several members of the British royal family. Queen Charlotte spent much time on the estate, and it was later the home of Queen Victoria's mother. Although occasionally used as a retreat into the early 20th century, the house has been largely unoccupied since 1872. Queen Mary often stayed there early in her marriage and for the rest of her life took a special interest in furnishing the house with family mementos. Keepsakes from the royal yacht HMY Britannia were placed there in the late 20th century by Prince Philip. In the 21st century, it is used by the royal family to host both private and official events.
