Who goes here

289 pupils out of 315 places

% eligible for free school meals: 17.0%
Pupil mix: 4 in 10 (less mixed than the Milton Keynes average)
English as an additional language: 12% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 4.8% a year (Milton Keynes 16.2%, typical in England 13.9%) Low turnover
Where they went: about 50% moved to another school, 50% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. "Low turnover" means it's among the quarter of similar schools in England where teachers are most likely to stay.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Milton Keynes: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 4 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 10 (0.4 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 5 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Milton Keynes, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 5.7%
Persistently absent pupils: 16.0%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 9.0%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 0.3%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 10 pupils
Specific learning difficulty: 4 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 4 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 4 pupils
SEN support but no specialist assessment of type of need: 2 pupils

Most common needs - EHC Plan

Autistic spectrum disorder: 1 pupil

About this Ofsted rating

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
