North Leigh Church of England School

Witney, OX29 6SS · Oxfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.5/10 Broadly average

96th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.7/10 against 3,891 of them, against 5.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 79.0 · 86 40% 3.43

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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.7 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join art clubs, and the school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 162 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 48 spare places. 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 higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the current class size affect individual attention for each child?
