Tylers Green First School

About Tylers Green First School

Tylers Green First School is a state primary in Buckinghamshire, a local authority with 184 primary schools, ten of which hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself sits within a competitive local landscape; its top-ranked peers include Ickford School, Frieth Church of England Combined School, and Elangeni School. Tylers Green caters specifically to children aged four to seven, with a capacity of 180 pupils and a current roll of 175, meaning it is very close to full. It is a mixed, non-religious school led by headteacher Jude Talbot. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 143 applications for 60 places, with 65 of those applications coming as first preferences. Of those, 58 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38 applicants per place. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, building on a Good rating from its previous graded inspection in 2015.

Academically, Tylers Green First School has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged as Good. The school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results, as its age range ends at Year 2, so direct comparison with the Buckinghamshire LA average of 64 is not possible. However, the parent view data, collected from 44 responses between September 2024 and September 2025, is overwhelmingly positive. 95% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe, while 77% strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. 73% strongly agreed that their child does well at the school, and 66% strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. 98% of respondents would recommend the school to other parents. The school’s SEND provision, covering moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health, speech and language communication, and autistic spectrum disorder, received no responses in the parent view survey, so its effectiveness cannot be gauged from that data.

The school offers a broad range of facilities for a first school, including an ICT suite, library, art studios, gymnasium, sensory room, forest school, and a chapel. Sports provision includes dance, tennis, cross country, athletics, and swimming, while extracurricular clubs cover art, book club, coding, chess, and choir. The school has no nursery provision and no sixth form, which is typical for a first school. Given its oversubscription and strong parent satisfaction scores, Tylers Green First School is likely to suit families who prioritise a secure, well-regarded start to primary education within a supportive community. The high proportion of parents who strongly agreed that their child is happy and safe, combined with the school’s maintained Good rating, suggests a consistent and positive environment for early years and Key Stage 1 pupils. Families should be aware that admission is competitive, with more than two applicants for every place, and that the school feeds into middle schools from Year 3 onwards.
