About Ash Hill Primary School

Ash Hill Primary School sits well below the Buckinghamshire average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64 per cent, but at Ash Hill that figure is just 41 per cent. That gap of 23 percentage points is significant and places the school 128th out of 137 primaries in the county, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. The school’s ranking score of 41 out of a possible 100 reflects this, and nationally it sits in the bottom ten per cent of all primaries. These headline numbers suggest that, on academic attainment alone, Ash Hill is struggling relative to its Buckinghamshire peers.
