About Stoke Mandeville Combined School

Stoke Mandeville Combined School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 107 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.57. Of those, 43 families put it down as their first preference, and 29 of them were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents in Buckinghamshire see something they really like here. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 217 pupils on roll — slightly over its official capacity of 210. Headteacher Eileen Stewart leads a school that has clearly built a strong reputation, and while the data doesn't include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the sheer volume of applications tells its own story about how local families view the school.
