There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Cuddington Primary 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.
