Mixed Primary
8.2/10 Well above average

5th of 142 primary schools in Buckinghamshire we can score, 184 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.5/10 against 4,277 of them, against 8.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 83.0 · 92 62% 5.65
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 10.0 · 66 38% 2.54

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 299 pupils in a building with 390 places, leaving 91 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school structure the day for the 91 spare places to ensure engagement? What support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How do you maintain high standards with such a large capacity gap?
