Brushwood Junior School
About Brushwood Junior School
Brushwood Junior School in Buckinghamshire is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is effectively full. With 255 pupils on roll against a capacity of 256, the school is operating at near-maximum occupancy, which signals strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 21.2%, a figure worth noting against the national primary average of around 24% — so the school serves a slightly less disadvantaged cohort than the national norm, though it still draws from a mixed socioeconomic base. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, and its headteacher is Joanne Robertson. Given that it is a junior school, it takes children from Year 3 upwards, meaning families will need to have secured a place at an infant or primary school beforehand. The fact that it is oversubscribed in practice suggests that parents in the area view it as a strong local option, and the data backs that up.
