About Turnfurlong Junior School

Turnfurlong Junior School’s headline KS2 results sit comfortably above the Buckinghamshire average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 64%. That seven-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top 50 of 137 primaries in the county. The school also outperforms on the higher standard: 7% of pupils achieved that top tier across all three subjects. Individual subject scores are solid too, with average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 105 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s ranking within the South East region sits at the 27th percentile, which is respectable given the competition. Turnfurlong is one of only ten primaries in Buckinghamshire rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent inspection in 2023 confirmed that status across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development and leadership all received the top grade.
