About Edlesborough Primary Academy

Edlesborough Primary Academy is a state primary school in Buckinghamshire with a current roll of 195 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is running close to full but still has a small number of spaces available. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.8%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively balanced intake in terms of socio-economic background. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for 24 places, with 23 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.58, meaning the school is genuinely popular among local families rather than just a fallback option. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Laura Rimmer leads a school that has clearly established a solid reputation in the area, and the numbers suggest parents are actively choosing it.
