This page states what happened. It publishes no score, no ranking and no prediction, and nothing here says whether a particular child would be offered a place.

## Ofsted category of concern

At its inspection on 2 December 2025 (Ofsted report card (current framework)) this school was placed in the category "requires significant improvement". Ofsted judged that one or more key areas of the school's performance needed significant improvement, while leaders had the capacity to improve. This category replaced “serious weaknesses”. Schools do leave these categories, so this is not a statement of where the school stands today. Check that with Ofsted.

## How many families applied

In the 2025 intake, 22 families named this school as their first preference, and it made 24 offers.

That is 0.92 first preferences per place offered, at Reception. This describes demand. It is not a pass rate and not a prediction.

Little change. Across the 5 most recent years held, first preferences per place averaged 0.9 in 2021–2022 and 0.91 in 2024–2025.

## Catchment area

Buckinghamshire publishes an admission area for this school.

It overlaps the areas of Ash Hill Primary School, so an address inside it may be in more than one area.

Living inside a published area is not an offer of a place. Councils use these areas in different ways: some to decide who gets a place when a school is full, some only to decide who gets free school transport. The shape is drawn to about 20 metres, so it cannot answer a question about a single house.

"Retrieved" is the day we downloaded the data, not the day it was written, so a figure can be about an earlier year.
