The Mary Towerton School at Studley Green was a small rural primary school located in Buckinghamshire, serving boys and girls aged 4 to 11. It was a community school with a published admission number of 14 and a maximum capacity of 98 pupils. Despite its intimate setting and local community focus, the school faced significant challenges over recent years, largely due to under-subscription. As of September 2022, only 33 pupils were enrolled, far below its capacity, with just 8 children across Key Stage 1. This low enrollment made it difficult to deliver a full and balanced curriculum since schools are primarily funded based on pupil numbers. The school also experienced high staff turnover, and many pupils left the school. An Ofsted inspection in October 2019 rated the school as “requires improvement,” reflecting ongoing concerns about its performance and sustainability. Admissions for the following year showed no first preferences, further underscoring its declining role in the community. Faced with these issues, the governing board, alongside local authorities, initiated a consultation on the school's future, proposing closure that was set to take effect on 31 August 2023. Despite these struggles, the school had been a longstanding institution within the rural High Wycombe area, dedicated to providing education in a close-knit environment for young children.
