The Grange School
Aylesbury, HP21 7NH · Buckinghamshire · secondary school
25th 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 903 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 28.7 · 14 | 30% | 0.44 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.07 · 55 | 25% | 1.38 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.4 · 22 | 10% | 0.23 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2024. In 2024/25, 28.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.07 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award and travel on a ski trip or an educational visit to New York.
Getting in. The school has 1418 pupils in a capacity of 1375, meaning it is over capacity by 43. 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 over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils whose Attainment 8 is below the national median? How is the Duke of Edinburgh Award integrated into the timetable?
