Mixed Primary
4.3/10 Broadly average

104th 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.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.1/10 against 2,044 of them, against 4.3/10 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

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 54.0 · 26 62% 1.59
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 38% 2.72

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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in African Drumming and visit Odds Farm, the Chiltern Open Air Museum, the Natural History Museum, London, and various places of worship.

Getting in. The school has 457 pupils in a capacity of 460, leaving 3 spare places. This means 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 fall below the national median in core subjects? What provisions exist for children who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of breakfast or after-school clubs? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 3 places remaining?
