Waddesdon Village Primary School

Aylesbury, HP18 0LQ · Buckinghamshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
3.5/10 Broadly average

118th 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 the 3,660 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9 out of 10 among them, against 2.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Ukulele Club and Choir Club, or take instrumental lessons through the Buckinghamshire Music Trust, iRock, and XYZ Music Academy. The school also runs a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. With 217 pupils enrolled in a school with 218 places, there is only 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single spare place during the admissions process? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in maths? How are the instrumental lessons scheduled to avoid conflicting with core curriculum time?
