Claytons Primary School
About Claytons Primary School
Claytons Primary School’s headline metrics sit below the Buckinghamshire local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Claytons, that figure is 47% — a gap of 17 percentage points. The school’s ranking within the LA reflects this: it places 122nd out of 137 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of the county. In the South East region, it ranks 1719th out of 2034, and nationally it sits in the 83rd percentile of all primary schools. These numbers suggest that, on average, pupils at Claytons are not achieving the same academic benchmarks as their peers across Buckinghamshire. However, the school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent inspection in 2023, indicates that inspectors consider the school to be providing a solid standard of education overall, even if the raw attainment figures are lower than the LA norm.
