Little Missenden Church of England School
About Little Missenden Church of England School
Little Missenden Church of England School has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the detail behind that headline tells a more nuanced story. The inspection, which took place in 2025, judged the school's overall effectiveness as 'Not judged' because it was a section 8 inspection rather than a full graded visit. However, inspectors did award Outstanding grades for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. This is a very small primary school with just 32 pupils on roll, catering for children aged 2 to 7, so there are no published KS2 SATs results or Progress 8 scores to examine. The school's most useful academic metric is its parent view data, which shows that 97% of the 34 respondents would recommend the school to other parents. That figure is striking for a school of this size and suggests a high level of satisfaction with the education on offer.
