Key Stage 2 performance

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

School overview

Haddenham St Mary's Church of England School is a primary school serving Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. It has 180 pupils aged 4 to 7 on roll. Ofsted rated the school 'Good' in December 2025.

Competition for places is real here - 76% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (74 first choices for 58 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.78 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 22.0 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
