King's Meadow Primary School

Bicester, OX26 2LU · Oxfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
5.0/10 Broadly average

122nd 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56

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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join cooking and gardening clubs, play football, tennis, gymnastics, rounders, netball, and dance, and participate in Art Week and Latin and Ballroom. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 443 pupils in a capacity of 455, leaving 12 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the weekly Art Week? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of spare places?
