Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.5/10 Broadly average

177th 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 4,192 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 59.0 · 37 40% 1.47
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 25% 0.26

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7 out of 10 among them, against 2.7 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. With 190 pupils in a school built for 249, there are 59 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 are not reaching the higher standard? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the staff team maintain the Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
