Two Mile Ash School

About Two Mile Ash School

Two Mile Ash School is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Milton Keynes, and its headline results put it well ahead of the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Milton Keynes average of 62% for primary schools. That is a gap of 16 percentage points, and it places the school 6th out of 54 primaries in the area, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA norm on individual subjects: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 85% did so in writing. Reading scores are similarly strong, with an average scaled score of 106. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is 16%, which is a solid showing for a school where 15.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.

The school’s Ofsted rating is Outstanding across the board, following its most recent graded inspection in February 2024. Inspectors awarded top marks of 1 for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a clean sweep of the highest possible grades, and it matches the school’s previous Outstanding rating from 2009. In terms of academic depth, 40% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and 37% did so in reading, while 19% reached the higher bar in writing. The average maths scaled score of 108 and reading score of 106 are both above the national benchmark. The school ranks 250th out of 2,034 primaries in the South East region, placing it in the top 13% regionally.

Facilities are generous for a primary, including a gymnasium, sports hall, playing fields, music rooms, an ICT suite, a library and a Forest School area. Sports on offer include athletics, football, netball, cricket, swimming and tennis, while clubs range from drama and choir to chess, gardening, art and science. The school has a broad range of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, autistic spectrum disorder and social, emotional and mental health support. With 654 pupils on roll against a capacity of 596, the school is oversubscribed, so families should check admissions criteria carefully. It suits parents who want a high-performing, well-resourced junior school with strong pastoral and SEND support, and who are comfortable with a larger-than-average primary setting.
