The schools around Stokenchurch are good. Most of the county's graded schools come out good or better. The village has its own primary, and smaller church primaries sit in the villages around it. Secondary school means a car or a bus. Up to age eleven, education here takes about ten minutes.
Buckinghamshire's Ofsted record covers 94 graded schools across the county, and 80 of them are rated good or outstanding, which is more than eight in ten. Nineteen are outstanding. Eleven require improvement and 3 are inadequate. A county figure tells you what the odds look like across Buckinghamshire, and less about the particular school a child ends up at.
Stokenchurch Primary School is the one that carries the village's name, and the Department for Transport's 2019 modelling put the nearest primary about 12 minutes' walk from the average home, or 7 minutes by car. Places are handed out under Buckinghamshire Council's published admissions rules, so a house near the school gates gets you a strong application and no promise. Around the parish, Ibstone CofE Primary School and Radnage Church of England Primary School serve two of the smaller villages this page covers, and Bledlow Ridge School does the same up on the ridge. Cadmore End CofE School and West Wycombe School are within reach for families happy to drive. For a village this size, that is a wide choice of small schools, most of them with a church attached and a car park full of parents comparing notes.
Secondary school is where things get further away. The same 2019 modelling puts the nearest secondary about 15 minutes away by car, 37 by public transport and nearly two hours on foot, and bus services may have thinned since that model was run. None of the secondaries are in the village, so every Stokenchurch teenager commutes. Ask Buckinghamshire Council which secondary its rules would point your address at, and how the children on your road get there each morning, because that school run will shape the next seven years more than the primary choice will.
For a family who can drive, or who don't mind the bus, the schools here are one of the best things about living in Stokenchurch.
