Marsh Baldon CofE Primary School
Marsh Baldon, OX44 9LJ · Oxfordshire · primary school
200th 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 4,045 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 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 1.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Young Gardeners, Cooking, Dance, and Little Masters Art Clubs, as well as Football, Cricket, and Cross Country teams. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 73 pupils in a capacity of 84 places, leaving 11 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 0.0% reaching the higher standard, how does the school stretch high-achieving pupils in maths? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is offered for children arriving early? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population close to capacity?
