Royal Latin School
Buckingham, MK18 1AX · Buckinghamshire · Grammar school
13th of 36 secondary schools in Buckinghamshire we can score, 37 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 213 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3/10 among them, against 9.3/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 94.8 · 97 | 30% | 2.91 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.59 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 73.5 · 98 | 10% | 0.98 |
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, 94.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 73.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.59 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3 out of 10 among them, against 9.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs such as Chess, Computing, Debating, and Photography. They participate in House Sport, House Dance, and House Music. Trips include visits to the Natural History Museum, the Isle of Wight, and countries like France, Spain, and Germany.
Getting in. The school has 1322 pupils in a school with 1189 places, meaning it is over capacity by 133. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 133 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How do students balance the wide range of clubs and trips with their academic workload?
