Check the area around this school
38th of 142 primary schools in Buckinghamshire we can score, 182 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,499 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7/10 among them, against 7.9/10 nationally. 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Cedar Park School & Nursery
Overview
Cedar Park School & Nursery has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as happy, safe, and ready to learn, with high aspirations to make a difference. The school provides an ambitious curriculum that prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious with a clear design identifying key knowledge, skills, and vocabulary, meeting the needs of all pupils including those with SEND.
- Pupils make good gains in English and mathematics, with early years children developing communication skills effectively and becoming fluent readers.
- Staff carefully check understanding to address misconceptions, ensuring pupils rise to the challenge of learning provided.
- Pupils benefit from extensive opportunities for wider development, including learning about different cultures, global issues, and life skills such as cooking and online safety.
- Leaders are ambitious, staff feel valued, and governors perform their roles effectively, knowing the school’s strengths and next steps.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, staff lack the subject knowledge needed to identify what pupils already know, meaning new learning does not always build upon existing knowledge. The school should ensure all staff have the knowledge to deliver the curriculum as intended.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
