Aureus Primary School
Didcot, OX11 6GS · Oxfordshire · primary school
3rd 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 3,485 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4/10 among them, against 8.2/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in November 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4 out of 10 among them, against 8.2 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 459 pupils in a building with 446 places, meaning it is over capacity by 13. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 13 more pupils than its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating while managing a student body that exceeds its physical limits?
