Lord Williams's School
Thame, OX9 2AQ · Oxfordshire · secondary school
21st of 40 secondary schools in Oxfordshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 759 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.79 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.8 · 60 | 30% | 1.82 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.06 · 55 | 25% | 1.37 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.2 · 53 | 10% | 0.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. There are 2290 pupils in a school with 2290 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 in raising their Progress 8 scores to match the national median? What specific steps are taken to secure a place for new applicants given the school is at full capacity? How does the current Ofsted rating reflect changes since the 2022 inspection?
