Getting a place
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 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

About Burford School
Burford School is a primary school in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 415 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 68% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 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 109 in reading and 105 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 7.70 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Burford 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.
