Check the area around this school
68th 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 3,809 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 6.4/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 41% | 2.59 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 26% | 1.71 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Newton Longville Church of England Primary School
Overview
Newton Longville Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders have high expectations and pupils are well prepared for the future. The school’s core values of compassion, respect, and aspiration are central to daily life, creating an environment where pupils thoroughly enjoy attending and feel safe. While the curriculum is broad and taps into pupils’ interests, there are specific inconsistencies in how knowledge is structured across all subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are enthusiastic about learning, taking pride in their school and actively participating in clubs and responsibilities such as being house captains or ‘buddies’.
- The mathematics curriculum is “particularly well thought out and logically sequenced,” helping pupils achieve well and address learning gaps.
- The new phonics programme strengthens the reading curriculum, with teachers articulating sounds accurately and providing extra help for those not keeping up.
- Staff enjoy working at the school and feel supported by leaders, who consider workload when introducing changes.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported appropriately and benefit from the same broad curriculum as their peers.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must identify precisely the knowledge and concepts pupils need to learn in history and geography, as current plans are not strong enough.
- Teachers need to ensure learning tasks in history and geography are well matched to subject-specific curriculum content to help pupils build knowledge securely.
- Leaders must ensure safeguarding concerns and actions taken are clearly recorded and well organised, as current record-keeping is not systematic enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders providing timely early help, though records of actions taken in response to concerns are not yet systematic or thorough enough.
