About Newtown School

Newtown School, a state primary in Buckinghamshire for children aged 2 to 7, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025. The inspection awarded Good across every graded category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is consistent with the school’s previous inspection in 2014, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good. While the school does not have published Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only goes up to Year 2 — the most informative metric available is the parent view. A striking 94% of the 71 respondents would recommend the school, and 96% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there. That level of parental endorsement is unusually high and suggests a strong alignment between what the school delivers and what families expect.
