St Amand's Catholic Primary School
Wantage, OX12 8LF · Oxfordshire · primary school
83rd 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 — 5.8/10 against 4,351 of them, against 6.2/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 90 pupils against a capacity of 150, leaving 60 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 do the smaller class sizes affect individual teaching time? What does the daily timetable look like for a typical Year 6 pupil? How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard?
