Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School
Abingdon, OX14 4DA · Oxfordshire · primary school
194th 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 4,127 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.89 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0 out of 10 among them, against 4.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a gardening club, choir, and The Daily Mile. Trips include Upper Key Stage Residential, Forest School activities, museum visits, choir performances at the O2, pantomime visits, seaside trips, woodland walks, and field studies on the local river. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 198 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 12 spare places. It has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the expected standard in core subjects? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do you manage the transition for children arriving without prior wraparound care?
