Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.2/10 Broadly average

69th 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 — 9.2/10 against 4,287 of them, against 9.1/10 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 to the national median of 64%. A further 39.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.

Getting in. There are 183 pupils in a school with 240 places, leaving 57 spare places. 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 do the smaller class sizes influence individual support for pupils? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the recent inspection?
