Great Missenden local primary schools? Help!

Very new to the area despite living in Bucks forever but really lost in the primary school choice situation now and was hoping for some help regarding the local school options please!

My 3 year old is very outgoing and outdoorsy but hates change. He can also be a handful and will probably need a lot of focus and a fairly firm hand at times so we are both a bit worried about larger schools despite really liking the look of Great Missenden C of E. All parents I talk to seem to love this school and the facilities and before/after school options also look very good but I worry he might get drowned as the class sizes are big. Does anyone have experience with this school at infant age (4-7) as we are considering other options like Hyde Heath or Prestwood infant school but then are worried about having to put him through yet more change and disruption at age 7 again.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated!

Where do you live? My girls go to Elmtree in Chesham, it's a lovely school and class sizes for reception this year will be really small.

Hey! We live in South Heath so not far from Chesham. I hadn’t look at that one, I shall go have a look at it now. I am thinking smaller class sizes may be better for him at the moment as he can get distracted very easily and also has very big emotions so can need a lot of attention and focus.
