Ofsted report card · 2025 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
1.8/10 Well below average

223rd 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 3,660 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 2.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 56.0% 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 December 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 2.2 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 108 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 102 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 are not reaching the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils during the school day? How does the smaller class size affect individual teaching time?
