Stanford In the Vale CofE Primary School
Faringdon, SN7 8LH · Oxfordshire · primary school
201st 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 2,991 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 50.0% 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 February 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1 out of 10 among them, against 1.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs such as Cookery, Dance, Pupil Parliament, and Eco Warriors, alongside sports like Football, Cricket, and Netball. Arts and music options include Choir, French Club, Rocksteady Bands, and Guitar. Trips include the Festival of Voices and Carols at The Grange. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 205 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 5 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific support is available for children who need help with homework? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of spare places?
