About Speen CofE VA School

Speen CofE VA School is a small Church of England primary for children aged 4 to 7, with just 43 pupils on roll against a capacity of 45. That near-full intake sits in a local context where demand is clearly outstripping supply: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 27 applications for 15 places, with 15 first-preference offers made and an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. Only 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent catchment. The school’s Church of England designation and its location in Buckinghamshire, a county with 184 primary schools of the same type, place it within a competitive local market. Despite its tiny size, Speen appears to be a popular choice for local families, and the parent view data — based on 43 responses — is strikingly positive: 100% of respondents would recommend the school, and every single parent strongly agreed that their child is happy there.
