Hook Norton Church of England Primary School
Banbury, OX15 5JS · Oxfordshire · primary school
105th 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 4,309 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.5/10 among them, against 5.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 2024/25, 71.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.5 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir and Get Active Club, learn piano, guitar, woodwind, and ocarinas, and perform in the Young Voices choir, Christmas Nativity, and Song and dance extravaganza. Trips include Weston Super Mare and Resorts World Arena. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 271 pupils in a capacity of 315, leaving 44 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the school plan to improve its position relative to similar-intake schools?
