About Chenies School

Chenies School is a small state primary in Buckinghamshire, currently operating well below its capacity. With 49 pupils against a school capacity of 105, the school has room to grow, yet demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 15 applications for just 7 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 14. Five of those applications were first-preference choices, and five first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10. 2%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools, though not dramatically so. The school is mixed, non-religious, and serves ages 4 to 11 under headteacher Rebecca Sutherland. Its small size means families often value the close-knit feel, but the admissions data suggests that securing a place is competitive, particularly for first-preference applicants.
