Barton Park Primary School
Oxford, OX3 9WN · Oxfordshire · primary school
190th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.1/10 against 1,885 of them, against 2.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.1 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Pegasus Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, The Story Museum, Science Oxford, Oxford Castle, Woodstock Museum, the Ashmolean, and the Pitt Rivers. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 179 pupils in a building with 315 places, leaving 136 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the expected standard in core subjects? What are the options for early morning or late afternoon supervision, given the lack of formal clubs? How does the school maintain engagement for the 0.0% who reach the higher standard?
