Hornton Primary School
Banbury, OX15 6BZ · Oxfordshire · primary school
65th 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 1,859 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 6.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Parkrun and Fencing, attend Forest School trips, and can join an after-school club. There is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 115 pupils in a building with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 10. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating above its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the fencing club accommodate pupils with varying levels of prior experience?
