Marcham Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School
Abingdon, OX13 6PY · Oxfordshire · primary school
208th 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 4,092 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.1/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5 out of 10 among them, against 1.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Micro-Bit Club, Cricket Club, Boys Football Club, Girls Football Club, Netball Club, and Choir Club. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 168 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 42 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 do not reach the expected standard in maths? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early due to the lack of wraparound care? How does the curriculum adapt for the smaller class sizes resulting from the current pupil numbers?
