Mixed Primary Church of England
2.7/10 Below average

204th 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 3,998 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 50.0 · 19 62% 1.17
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 5.0 · 40 38% 1.55

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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8 out of 10 among them, against 2.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Magical Maths, Karate, and HayJack Drama, alongside sports like Golf and American Football. Arts provision covers piano, choir, and drumming. Trips include Year 4 and Year 6 residencies. The school has no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. With 320 pupils in a school with 420 places, there are 100 spare places. 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 arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 50.0% who did not reach the expected standard? How do you manage class sizes given the significant spare capacity?
