Our school serves the parishes of Aston Clinton, Buckland and Drayton Beauchamp and in addition we have on roll a number of children from outside our reserved area whose parents have chosen this school.  Our admission number for each year group is 58, and if requests exceed this number Buckinghamshire Council admissions criteria are applied and children awarded places accordingly.
