Check the area around this school
220th of 230 primary schools in Oxfordshire we can score, 244 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,893 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 2.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 11 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
The report describes a small, rural school where pupils show a "secure sense of belonging" and thrive in a "calm and orderly" environment. Leaders have established a "coherent and carefully structured programme of personal development" that fosters respect and confidence, though achievement in some subjects requires further embedding to ensure all pupils are fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Early years provision is praised as an "excellent start," with adults using "skilful modelling" to build vocabulary and secure understanding of number.
- Safeguarding standards are met, creating an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- Personal development is extensive, helping pupils become "responsible, respectful and active citizens" who value diversity and understand personal safety.
- Pastoral support is "highly effective," with staff using precise strategies like 'soft starts' to help pupils manage difficulties and improve attendance.
- Inclusion is strong, with staff identifying needs quickly and using effective strategies like 'pupil profiles' to support disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure recent curriculum changes are "fully embedded" so pupils build secure knowledge in all subjects, particularly mathematics.
- Pupils need to apply key foundational skills consistently so their work demonstrates "depth of knowledge and clear progression."
