About Oakley Church of England Combined School

Oakley Church of England Combined School is a small primary in Buckinghamshire, currently teaching 92 pupils against a capacity of 115, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.9%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 29 applications for just 15 places, with all 15 first-preference applicants receiving an offer. That oversubscription ratio of nearly 2:1 indicates a school that local families are keen to get into, despite its current Ofsted rating. The school has a Church of England character and is led by headteacher Helen Maskell. It is a mixed, non-selective state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
