About Linslade School

Linslade School is a primary school in Leighton Buzzard, Central Bedfordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 661 pupils aged 9 to 13 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 2.0 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 in the top 40% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 5.6%. There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Linslade 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. 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.
