Carrington Junior School

Carrington Junior School at a glance

Located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Carrington Junior School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 233 pupils aged 7 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 4.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.69 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 6.3%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. Carrington Junior School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
