Check the area around this school
140th 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 3,865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 4.3/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Wroxton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Wroxton Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school fosters a “strong, inclusive ethos” where pupils enjoy attending and staff demonstrate values of “love, compassion and courage.” Consequently, pupils are “polite, well mannered and respectful,” achieving well academically within a “warm and happy atmosphere.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is “broad and balanced,” ensuring pupils learn “the most important knowledge” with clear sequencing from early years to Year 6.
- Staff possess “strong subject knowledge,” explain ideas clearly, and make “precise adaptations” for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Reading is a key focus; staff are “adept in helping any pupils who need extra support,” resulting in pupils becoming “fluent and confident readers.”
- Pupils develop “enthusiasm for writing” and become “increasingly accurate and confident writers” by applying their reading knowledge.
- The school provides a “wide range of experiences” for personal development, including visits to places of worship and projects on healthy relationships.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the school does not routinely check what pupils have remembered, meaning “pupils’ misunderstandings or gaps in their knowledge are not known.”
- The school should ensure systems are in place to check understanding and address misconceptions “in a timely manner” so pupils can “build and connect knowledge securely over time.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
