About Weston Turville Church of England School

Weston Turville Church of England School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in February 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection report noted Good ratings for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. This represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was rated Requires Improvement. On the most informative exam metric available, Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 52% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the local authority average of 64% for Buckinghamshire primary schools, and places the school 109th out of 137 schools in the county on this measure. The school’s ranking score of 52 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally.

Looking more closely at the individual subject scores, reading is the strongest area: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard and 23% achieved a higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. In maths, 68% met the expected standard and 19% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 104. Writing is notably weaker, with 65% at the expected standard and just 3% reaching the higher level. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school is a Church of England primary with a mixed intake of 192 pupils, aged 4 to 11, and has a capacity of 210. Just over 14% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is close to the national average for primary schools.

The school offers a range of facilities including a sports hall, gymnasium, library, music rooms, sensory room and a chapel. Sports on offer include football, cricket, gymnastics, dance and cross country, while clubs include art, drama and gardening. The school has a broad SEND provision, supporting pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: there were 100 applications for 30 places, with 28 offers made to first-preference applicants out of 31 who put the school first. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 3.33 applicants per place. This is a school that suits families who value a Church of England ethos and a broad range of facilities, but who should be aware that academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 are below the local average.
