About Aston Clinton School

Aston Clinton School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection from September 2022, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school’s leadership, behaviour, personal development, early years provision, and quality of education all now sit at Good. But the headline exam metric tells a more nuanced story: only 47% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Buckinghamshire local authority average of 64%, and it places the school 121st out of 137 primary schools in the county. Just 5% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, though individual subject scores are stronger — reading and maths both averaged 106 and 105 respectively, and 71% of pupils hit the expected standard in each of those subjects individually.
