About Buxton Primary School

If you're a parent considering Buxton Primary School, the feedback from other families is remarkably strong. In the most recent Parent View survey, 98% of respondents said they would recommend the school, a figure that aligns with the overwhelmingly positive responses across individual questions. For instance, 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 49 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.13, with all 21 first-preference applicants offered a spot. Parents also gave high marks for communication, with 94% agreeing the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 99% felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school's leadership and management were rated Outstanding in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained.
