About Waddesdon Village Primary School

Waddesdon Village Primary School's headline Key Stage 2 results sit notably below the Buckinghamshire local authority average, with just 34% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 64%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the county, ranked 132nd out of 137. The gap is most pronounced in writing, where only 34% met the expected standard and no pupils achieved the higher standard. Reading fares better, with 78% reaching the expected level and 31% hitting the higher benchmark, while maths sits at 69% expected and 16% higher. The school's average scores of 105 in reading and 103 in maths are solid, but the combined figure suggests that many pupils who do well in one subject are not replicating that across all three.
