Juniper Hill School
About Juniper Hill School
Juniper Hill School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 151 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.52. Of those, 54 offers went to first-preference families, meaning the school is clearly a top pick for many parents in Buckinghamshire. While the school doesn't publish a specific parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is at full capacity with 420 pupils, and the headteacher, Claire Garnett, leads a mixed, non-religious primary for children aged 4 to 11. With a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 7.4%, the school draws from a fairly advantaged catchment area, which often correlates with strong parental engagement and support.
