Culworth Church of England Primary Academy
Banbury, OX17 2BB · West Northamptonshire · primary school
136th of 139 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 148 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 — 0.2/10 against 4,045 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 62% | 0.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 33.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils 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 (0.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include baking, making dens, arts and crafts, free play, making playdough, outdoor play, film nights, yoga, and swimming.
Getting in. The school has 101 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who need extra help with reading or maths? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of available places?
