Buckinghamshire Council has officially opened Orchard View Primary Academy, a new £20 million school in Aylesbury, providing 420 primary places and 60 nursery places.
The new academy, which opened to pupils in September 2025, also includes a 12-place specialist provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It is designed to accommodate future growth as the Kingsbrook community expands.
Orchard View Primary Academy is the first Net Zero Carbon in Operation school in Buckinghamshire, featuring sustainable elements such as solar panels, air source heat pumps, and green roofs to minimise its environmental impact and create a modern learning environment.
This is the third school delivered within the Kingsbrook development, joining Kingsbrook View Primary Academy and The Kingsbrook School. The design allows for expansion from a two-form to a three-form entry school if demand increases.
