St Nicolas Church of England Primary School, Abingdon
Abingdon, OX14 1HB · Oxfordshire · primary school
103rd 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 — 5.5/10 against 4,067 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Junior Adventures Group After School Club, Super Sports, Power Teams, Global Kids, Zen Masters, Creative Inventors, Brain Boosters, and the School Council. The Oxfordshire County Music Service provides arts and music opportunities. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 399 pupils in a capacity of 436 places, leaving 37 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities does the Junior Adventures Group offer? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
