Hanwell Fields Community School
Banbury, OX16 1ER · Oxfordshire · primary school
219th 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 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 2.1/10 nationally. 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 62% | 1.00 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1 out of 10 among them, against 2.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Drama Academy, art club, Burnet News, and Sports Academy. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 456 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 36. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early morning care? How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects?
