About Ibstone CofE Primary School

If you are looking for a school where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Ibstone CofE Primary School presents a compelling picture. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, every single parent who responded said they would recommend the school. The feedback is strikingly consistent: 83% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 92% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also clearly popular in the local area. For entry in the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 52 applications for just 13 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4:1. Of those, 13 were first-preference applications, and 11 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand, combined with the near-unanimous parental satisfaction, suggests a school that is both well-regarded and in high demand among Buckinghamshire families.
