How many families applied

Preferences expressed and offers made at Reception, as published by the Department for Education. These describe demand. They do not indicate whether any particular child would be offered a place.

In the 2025 intake, 14 families named Drayton Parslow Village School as their first preference, and the school made 15 offers.

That is 0.93 first preferences per place offered, which places it above 31% of schools admitting at Reception in England that year.

“Offers made” counts the offers the school made. It is not the number of places the school had, so please do not read it as one.

Ofsted

Ofsted changed its inspection framework: the current one publishes several graded areas and no single overall grade, while the previous one published an overall effectiveness grade. Each inspection below states which framework produced it.

Teachers staying and leaving

These come from the School Workforce Census, which follows each teacher into the next year. The numbers count full-time jobs, so a teacher who works half the week counts as half. They are not a count of people.

Census yearTeachers (FTE) Still there a year later Moved to another state school Left state schools Left in total
2024/25 3.0 2.5 0.5 0.0 16.7%
2023/24 3.0 2.0 0.0 1.0 33.3%

This is turnover among teachers. It says nothing about the headteacher or the senior leadership team: DfE publishes leadership retention separately and we do not hold it by school.

Catchment area

Buckinghamshire publishes an admission zone for this school (Drayton Parslow Village School), in force from 2027.

Covers: 25 live postcodes across 6.062 km².

This zone overlaps others. An address here may also fall inside the catchment of St Michael's Church of England Combined School and Swanbourne Church of England VA School. Being in this catchment does not mean being in only this one.

Where it is

The shaded shape is the area the council published for Drayton Parslow Village School. Living inside it is not the same as being offered a place. Councils use these areas in different ways. Some use them to help decide who gets a place when a school is full. Some use them to decide who gets free school transport. Many use them for both. Check with the council which it is here. The edge is drawn to about 20 metres, so do not use it to judge a single house.
