Chalfont St Giles Junior School

Chalfont St Giles, HP8 4JW · Buckinghamshire · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
7.4/10 Above average

24th 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 — 6.2/10 against 4,249 of them, against 6.2/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 40% 2.41

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

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in June 2025. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.2 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in tag rugby, netball, gymnastics, badminton, circuits, football, basketball, dance, cricket, high 5 netball, athletics, and swimming.

Getting in. The school has 233 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 7 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard? What are the specific entry requirements for the 7 remaining places? How do parents manage the lack of breakfast or after-school clubs?
