Oakridge School
About Oakridge School
Oakridge School in Buckinghamshire is a state primary that parents are clearly keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 113 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.02. Of those, 53 families put it as their first preference, and all 53 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it’s worth noting the school doesn’t publish a parent-view survey score to back that up. Headteacher Stuart Cook leads a mixed, non-religious school of 480 pupils, which is very close to its capacity of 498. The school also has a nursery provision, taking children from age two, and a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 30%, which is well above the national average and gives some context to the school’s intake.
