Schools in Aylesbury
Named the county town of Buckinghamshire as far back as the sixteenth century, Aylesbury spreads across the flat Vale that bears its name, roughly midway between the Chiltern Hills to the south and Milton Keynes to the north. The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery and the Waterside Theatre give the centre cultural substance alongside the traditional Market Square. Around 88,000 people now live in the wider urban area.
Chiltern Railways links Aylesbury station to London Marylebone in just over an hour, and a housing programme targeting 16,000 new homes by 2033 speaks to sustained demand for space within commuting reach of the capital. Ickford, east of the town, is among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in the district; Turnfurlong and Waddesdon are further names on families' radar when weighing up primary options.
