Independent in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
Swanbourne House School
Swanbourne, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK17 0HZ
Ofsted
Ofsted has not published an inspection outcome for this school.
This is usual for schools that have opened recently, and for most independent schools, which are inspected by ISI or another approved body rather than Ofsted.
- Current published outcome
- None published
- Last overall grade in this dataset
- None published
- Days since inspection
- Not published
- Framework era
- No published Ofsted outcome
These four fields describe the latest published inspection on this record. The dataset does not keep a previous inspection row, so a school inspected under the current framework will usually have no overall grade to show as “prior”.
Exam results
Independent schools are not comparable in the performance tables. Most enter pupils for international GCSEs, which are not approved qualifications for these measures, so any Attainment 8 figure would be calculated from a fraction of what pupils actually sit. We do not publish one rather than publish a misleading number.
- Evidence found
- No phase-compatible comparable headline measure is published here.
- Source coverage
- DfE 2024/25 school performance files, checked by exact URN and establishment type.
- What this means
- The standard mainstream measure would not support a fair comparison for this establishment.
- What this does not mean
- The school achieved zero, has no outcomes, or should be read as performing below a mainstream school.

Free school meals, English as an additional language and SEN figures come from the state school census, which independent schools do not report into. Their records return structural zeros rather than measurements, so they are not shown here.
School funding 2025-26 financial year
Not applicable to this state-funded mainstream release.
- Evidence found
- Not applicable to this state-funded mainstream release; this is not represented as £0.
- Source coverage
- DfE mainstream-school allocations for running costs for pupils aged 5-16, importer snapshot 23 August 2026.
- What this means
- The official mainstream allocation release does not provide a publishable row for this establishment.
- What this does not mean
- The school received no public funding or has no budget; other establishment types and funding streams use different publications.
Allocation is not expenditure. DfE says this release combines the schools block with several other revenue grants and excludes capital spending. Funding is shown for context and is never used in School Facts ordering, peer groups or quality claims. Source, licence and coverage.

No station within 5km
Every collision reported to the police within 500m of the school over the five years to 2024, from the Department for Transport's road casualty statistics. A high count usually says the school sits on or near a busy road, not that the school is unsafe — counts rise with traffic and with how built up an area is, and a rural school on a fast road may have fewer collisions but a worse one. Distances are straight-line from the school's recorded position.
The area around the school
Among the less deprived half of England.
Among the least deprived fifth of England for children in low-income families.
Indices of Deprivation 2019, for the small area the school stands in. 1 means the most deprived tenth of England, 10 the least. The second measure counts only children living in low-income families, which is the one that describes the intake a school is likely to draw on.
