Prestwood Junior School
About Prestwood Junior School
Prestwood Junior School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 7 to 11, located in Buckinghamshire. With 176 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is operating at around 73% of its maximum, suggesting there is room for more children in the upper years. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16.5%, which is notably above the national average for primary schools and indicates a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its local peers. Despite this spare capacity, the school does not appear to be oversubscribed based on the data available, which may be a practical consideration for families moving into the area or seeking a mid-phase transfer. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Mike Smith, who has been in post since at least the most recent Ofsted inspection.
