Ley Hill School
About Ley Hill School
Ley Hill School is a state primary in Buckinghamshire that currently educates 228 pupils against a capacity of 242, meaning it runs with a small number of spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14. 7%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 105 total applications for just 29 places, with 38 families listing it as their first preference. That works out at 3. 62 applications per place, a clear signal that local parents see it as a desirable option despite its relatively modest position in the local authority rankings. The school is non-religious and co-educational, taking children from age three through to eleven, and it offers nursery provision, which may be a practical draw for families looking to keep siblings on one site.
