Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
8.7/10 Well above average

2nd 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 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8/10 among them, against 8.7/10 nationally. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 81.0 · 89 62% 5.49
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 15.0 · 84 38% 3.21

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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 15.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8 out of 10 among them, against 8.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access the County Music Service and Play Anywhere Coaching, with a Lion King Theatre Trip and a Year 6 Residential. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 230 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 20. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving late due to the competitive entry process? What support is available for pupils who do not attend a breakfast or after-school club? How does the school maintain its 81.0% expected standard rate while operating above its stated capacity?
