About Bedgrove Junior School
Bedgrove Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Buckinghamshire, and the data suggests it is a popular choice among local families. The school is oversubscribed, with 483 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, indicating that demand slightly exceeds the number of places available. Parent satisfaction appears strong, though the school does not publish a specific parentView recommend percentage in the data provided. Headteacher Harrison Hillier leads a school that has maintained a consistent Good rating from Ofsted across its two most recent inspections, with the latest full inspection taking place in 2023. Notably, inspectors awarded Outstanding grades for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, which are strong signals that parents can expect a positive, well-managed environment where children feel safe and supported.

In the 2023/24 results, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Buckinghamshire average of 64%. Reading is a particular strength, with 88% of pupils meeting the expected standard and 35% achieving a higher standard. Maths scores are solid too, with an average scaled score of 104 and 73% reaching the expected level. The school ranks 53rd out of 137 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the top 40% nationally.

The school offers a practical range of facilities including a library, playing fields, a dining hall and an outdoor playground. Sports provision is broad, with cross country, netball, tennis, athletics, swimming and cricket all on offer, alongside clubs such as drama, choir, eco club, chess and gardening. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists support for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, visual impairment and autistic spectrum disorder. Bedgrove Junior School sits just 0.2 km from Bedgrove Infant School, which holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating, making this cluster a logical choice for families seeking continuity from infant through to junior phase in the Aylesbury area.
