Check the area around this school
71st 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 — 6.5/10 against 4,217 of them, against 6.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School
Overview
Wootton St Peter’s Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” It is described as a “happy school” where pupils are “caring and considerate” and achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The report confirms that the school continues to provide high-quality education and support for its community.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate strong behaviour, being “kind and following the rules and routines” well, with “low-level disruption” being “extremely rare.”
- The curriculum in core subjects is “coherently designed,” allowing pupils to build knowledge securely from the early years onwards.
- Staff provide “expert teaching of phonics” and make “accurate changes to activities” to close gaps in learning when pupils fall behind.
- Provision for pupils with SEND is “precise and meets a range of needs very well,” supported by “specific and ambitious targets.”
- Staff are “motivated by the school’s vision” and benefit from “quality professional development,” while governors work effectively to ensure high standards.
Areas to improve
- The school must refine the curriculum in “a small number of non-core subjects” where the sequence of learning is “not precisely defined,” ensuring a clear progression of knowledge so pupils learn as well as they could across the entire curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
