About Foxes Piece School

Foxes Piece School is a state primary in Buckinghamshire that currently serves 162 pupils against a capacity of 230, meaning it has room to grow. The school’s intake stands out locally: 52.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and one that signals a community with significant socioeconomic need. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions round, Foxes Piece received 23 applications for just 9 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.56. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall numbers show that more than twice as many families wanted in as could be accommodated. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age 2, which may be a factor in its popularity with local families.
