Charlton Primary School
Wantage, OX12 7HG · Oxfordshire · primary school
64th 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 3,718 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include Sports of the World, Multi-sport, Escape Rooms, Ninja Mania, Treasure Hunts, Guardian Parachute Fun, Virtual Reality Experience, and Roller Karting. Sports cover football, cricket, netball, ultimate frisbee, dodgeball, capture the flag, athletics, and handball. Year 6 pupils take a residential trip to Condover Hall.
Getting in. The school has 450 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 30. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 30 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the breakfast club operate during the school’s busiest periods?
