Ofsted: Outstanding · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.2/10 Above average

31st 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 4,132 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 5.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
