About Ickford School

Ickford School, a state primary in Buckinghamshire, was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, but the detail reveals real strength in specific areas. Inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. On the academic front, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 are striking: every single pupil reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined — a perfect 100 per cent. That figure places Ickford first out of 137 primary schools in Buckinghamshire, and 46th nationally out of 13,686. The local authority average for the same combined measure is 64 per cent, so the school is well ahead of the typical local performance.
