Long Furlong Primary School
Abingdon, OX14 1XP · Oxfordshire · primary school
176th 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 3,754 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 62% | 0.92 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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, 47.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Maypole, gardening, chess, guitar, and coding clubs, while participating in Bikeability, athletics, football, cross country, rounders, and tag rugby. Arts provision includes choir, orchestra, and string instruments, alongside residential visits. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 211 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to address the gap between the 47.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions when already over capacity?
