Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.4/10 Broadly average

101st 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 4,293 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 67.0 · 57 40% 2.28
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81

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, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Nature Club, School Council, Eco Committee, Wellbeing Ambassadors, and House Captains. They participate in the Daily Mile, Bikeability, and Young Sports Leaders. Music is provided via iRock, Oxfordshire Music Service, and Charanga. Trips include a PGL residential visit and Forest School. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 82 pupils in a capacity of 105, leaving 23 spare places. This means 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' wellbeing without a dedicated after-school club? What specific support is available for the 7% who reach the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
