Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Church of England
5.3/10 Broadly average

110th 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 6.5/10 among them, against 7.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 75.0 · 78 40% 3.11

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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Musical Theatre, Gardening, Spanish, and Choir clubs, or take part in seasonal sports. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 211 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate on days when seasonal sports are scheduled?
