Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
8.1/10 Well above average

11th 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 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6/10 among them, against 7.3/10 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) 2022/23 71.0 · 68 40% 2.73

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 2022/23, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 62%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 31 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 74 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 in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to engage the small pupil group? How does the school maintain its Outstanding standards with such a low intake?
