About St Edward's Catholic Junior School

St Edward's Catholic Junior School is a primary school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 255 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 22% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% 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 1.19 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.4%. There are about 24.5 pupils per teacher. St Edward's Catholic 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. 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.
