About Haddenham St Mary's Church of England School

Haddenham St Mary's Church of England School is a small primary for children aged 4 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good overall. That puts it in the majority of Buckinghamshire primaries, but the school's internal breakdown shows some real strengths. The early years provision and personal development were both judged Outstanding, which is a stronger result than many local schools achieve in those specific categories. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 64, though it is worth noting that this school only covers Reception through Year 2, so its pupils do not sit KS2 SATs. Instead, the focus here is on the earliest stage of schooling, and the Outstanding rating for early years provision suggests the school is particularly effective at getting children off to a strong start. Compared with its previous inspection in 2007, when the school was rated Outstanding overall, the current Good rating represents a slight step back, but the leadership and management remain Good, and the school has held a Good or better rating across both its recent inspections.
