About Naphill and Walters Ash School

Naphill and Walters Ash School is a mixed state primary in Buckinghamshire, currently home to 274 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is running at roughly 65% occupancy. This is a notably low fill rate for a school that is oversubscribed in admissions: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 49 applications for 30 places, with 29 offers going to first-preference families and 30 first-preference applications in total. That oversubscription ratio of 1.63 suggests strong local demand, yet the school has plenty of physical room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23%) and suggests a relatively affluent catchment. The school has no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision, so it serves the core primary years from age 4 to 11.
