About Halton Community Combined School

Halton Community Combined School sits in a tricky spot within Buckinghamshire’s primary landscape. Its headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — comes in at 52%, which is a full 12 percentage points below the local authority average of 64%. That places the school 108th out of 137 primaries in the county, firmly in the bottom half of the table. But the picture is more nuanced than that single number suggests. In reading and maths, pupils actually scored an average scaled score of 107 in each, which is above the national benchmark of 100. And while the combined expected standard figure is low, the school’s maths results are stronger: 68% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 29% reached the higher standard. So the headline underperformance is driven more by writing and reading combined outcomes than by a universal weakness across the board.
