About Chesham Bois Church of England School

Chesham Bois Church of England School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running at full capacity with 218 pupils on roll matching its 218-place school capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.6%, which is below the national average for primary schools, reflecting the relatively affluent demographic of the area. Demand for places is exceptionally high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 151 total applications for just 30 places, with 40 of those being first-preference applications. This gives an oversubscription ratio of over 5 to 1, meaning more than five families competed for each available spot. The school’s Church of England character and its location in Buckinghamshire, a selective authority, likely add to its appeal among local families seeking a strong primary foundation.
