About Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School

Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results comfortably exceed the Oxfordshire local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61%, but at Aston and Cote that figure stands at 74% — a clear 13 percentage points higher. This places the school in the top 25% nationally for that metric and 51st out of 242 similar schools across the county. It also ranks 13th out of 44 primary schools within West Oxfordshire, putting it in the upper third of its immediate area. For a relatively small village school with just 188 pupils on roll, these are strong results that suggest consistent teaching across the core subjects. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed it remains Good — a rating it has held since its previous graded inspection in 2014, where leadership, management and early years provision were all judged Good.
