Edlesborough Primary Academy
Dunstable, LU6 2HS · Buckinghamshire · primary school
40th 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 — 7.6/10 against 4,247 of them, against 7.9/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 25.0%. 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 (7.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can access instrumental and vocal tuition. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 195 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 15 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the breakfast club operate on days with early morning activities? What specific subjects are covered in the instrumental and vocal tuition sessions? How does the school support pupils who are close to the higher standard in their core subjects?
