About Spinfield School

Spinfield School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Buckinghamshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) sits at 64%, Spinfield achieves 90% — a striking 26-point gap. That places the school 4th out of 184 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top 5% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed by a factor of nearly 4 to 1, with 117 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 29 of those 30 offers went to first-preference families. This level of demand is a clear signal that local parents see Spinfield as a strong bet, and the data backs that up.
