Check the area around this school
15th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.3/10 against 3,621 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who are working towards the higher standard in core subjects? What specific trips or external visits are planned for the current academic year? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from Year 6 to secondary education?
What Ofsted said about Elangeni School
Overview
Elangeni School continues to be a good school, offering a "welcoming and inclusive" environment where pupils feel safe and supported. The inspection confirms that staff maintain high expectations for both academic and pastoral development, fostering a culture where reading is highly valued and pupils are ambitious in their learning.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "carefully considered, broad and ambitious curriculum" that is well sequenced, particularly in English and mathematics where they "achieve very well".
- There is a strong culture of care; pupils know "there is always someone to talk to" and staff resolve worries quickly, helping them feel "very safe".
- Teachers use ongoing checks to identify pupils at risk of falling behind quickly, providing "effective support to help them catch up".
- The school fosters pupils’ wider development through activities like visits from "inspirational leaders and thinkers" and elected leadership roles, building resilience and confidence.
- Staff are described as feeling "valued and supported," and governors are "knowledgeable and committed" to pupil success.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in "a few subjects" lacks the same precision and sequencing as others, leading to gaps in pupils’ knowledge and unclear teaching goals.
- The needs of "a few pupils with SEND are not met fully," as staff do not always adapt teaching consistently well in early reading and wider subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
