About Toddington St George Church of England School

Toddington St George Church of England School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a solid foundation for any family considering it. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 outcomes, which sit well above the local authority average of 54. While the school’s own exact KS2 score isn’t listed in the data, the fact that it outperforms the Central Bedfordshire average is a strong indicator of its effectiveness. This is a school that has clearly maintained its standards since its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. The current inspection gave it Good marks across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistency suggests a stable, well-run school that hasn’t slipped but has simply recalibrated under a more rigorous inspection framework.

Academically, the school is performing well compared with its peers in the local authority. The top three primary schools in Central Bedfordshire by ranking score are Lark Rise Academy (82), Totternhoe Church of England Academy (80), and Raynsford Church of England Academy (76). Toddington St George doesn’t appear in that top tier, but its above-average KS2 results and Good Ofsted rating place it comfortably within the better-performing schools in the area. The school has 333 pupils on roll, which is slightly above its official capacity of 304, indicating it’s a popular choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 5.8%, well below the national average, which often correlates with higher overall attainment. There’s no sixth form here — the school caters for children from age 3 to 9 — so families will need to plan for a transition at the end of Year 4.

The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 78 applications for 54 places, with 50 of those coming from first-preference families. That’s a ratio of 1.44 applicants per place, so it’s worth getting your application in early. Facilities include an ICT suite, music rooms, a gymnasium, sports hall, and a chapel, which reflects its Church of England foundation. Sports on offer include netball, cross country, gymnastics, and cricket, while clubs range from drama and choir to science, eco, and chess. The school has a notably broad range of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language issues, hearing impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. It also has a resourced provision. This is a school that seems well equipped to support a wide variety of additional needs, making it a strong option for families who want a mainstream setting with genuine specialist support built in.
