Check the area around this school
54th 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 — 9.8/10 against 4,236 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 91.0 · 98 | 42% | 4.11 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 32% | 0.09 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 26% | 2.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
