About The Iver Village Junior School

Ofsted's Parent View results for The Iver Village Junior School paint a remarkably positive picture. From a survey of 57 parents conducted between September 2024 and September 2025, a full 96% said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's backed up by some very strong individual scores: 100% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child was safe. On behaviour, 96% agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and 79% strongly agreed their child does well here. The school is a junior school, taking children from age 7 to 11, and it's currently undersubscribed – with 208 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240. That spare capacity may be worth noting for families moving into the area, though it's always worth checking current admission arrangements directly with Buckinghamshire Council.

Academically, the school performs well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Buckinghamshire average of 64%. That places the school 21st out of 137 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. Individual subject scores are solid: average reading and maths scores were 107 and 108 respectively, and 86% of pupils met the expected standard in maths. At the higher standard, 16% achieved the top marks across all three subjects. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in May 2025, judged that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was rated Good. Leadership and management were also rated Good.

The school offers a decent range of facilities for a primary, including a library, ICT suite, sports hall, gymnasium and playing fields, plus a forest school area. There are clubs covering coding, eco, book club, choir, art and science, and sports include netball, football, cricket, tennis and cross country. For families with children who have special educational needs, the school lists support for dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional needs, speech and language issues, and autistic spectrum disorder. In the Parent View survey, 88% of parents agreed that SEND children get the support they need, though 6% strongly disagreed – worth probing if this applies to your child. With a below-capacity roll and strong but not oversubscribed local demand, this feels like a solid, well-regarded junior school that could suit families looking for a calm, achieving environment without the pressure of a selective system.
