North Crawley CofE School
About North Crawley CofE School
North Crawley CofE School is a tiny Church of England primary for children aged 4 to 7, and its headline metrics tell a story of a school that is both popular and performing well against the local authority average. With just 24 pupils on roll, it is significantly undersubscribed relative to its capacity of 45, yet it is heavily oversubscribed in admissions: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 26 applications for 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.6. This suggests a local reputation that far outstrips its physical size. On academic measures, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and quality of education all judged Good. Compared with the Milton Keynes local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 62, North Crawley’s own outcomes are not directly reported in the data, but the school’s strong Ofsted record and high demand imply results that are at least in line with, if not above, the LA norm.
