About Carrington Junior School

Of the 54 families who responded to the most recent Parent View survey, 85% said they would recommend Carrington Junior School to other parents. That’s a strong signal, and it’s backed up by the detail: 92% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 89% felt their child is safe. The school is a state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Buckinghamshire, with 233 pupils on roll against a capacity of 248, so it’s running close to full but not oversubscribed to the point of being impossible to get into. Headteacher Emma Cameron leads a school where 32.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and suggests a genuinely mixed intake. Parents also reported strong satisfaction with communication: 93% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 80% felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across all four graded areas, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022.
