About Chesham Primary Academy
Ofsted's Parent View responses for Chesham Primary Academy, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, show that 84% of the 67 parents who responded would recommend the school. That's a solid vote of confidence, and it's backed up by strong individual scores: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 94% felt their child does well there. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Chesham Primary Academy received 60 applications for just 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.71. Of those 60 applications, 34 were first-preference offers, meaning the school is a genuine first choice for most families who apply. That level of demand suggests that, despite the school's recent Ofsted rating, many local parents are seeing positive day-to-day experiences that aren't fully captured by the inspection report.
