Launton Church of England Primary School
Bicester, OX26 5DP · Oxfordshire · primary school
102nd 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 2,560 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 8.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join recorder club, choir, and instrumental lessons, alongside lunchtime games, cross country, and a girls' football tournament. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 136 pupils in a building with 164 places, leaving 28 spare spots. 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 who miss the morning start, given there is no breakfast club? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How do the smaller class sizes, resulting from the 28 spare places, affect individual teaching time?
