About Great Missenden CofE Combined School

Great Missenden CofE Combined School outperforms the Buckinghamshire primary average on its key stage 2 headline measure. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64 per cent, while Great Missenden achieves 70 per cent. That six-point gap places the school 51st out of 184 primaries in the county, putting it in the top half of Buckinghamshire schools. It is not among the very top tier — the three highest-ranked peers in the LA all scored 93 or above on the same metric — but it is performing above the typical local school. The school also achieves a higher proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading (43 per cent) than in writing (26 per cent) or maths (37 per cent), suggesting reading is a particular strength.
