About Barton Park Primary School

Barton Park Primary School sits within Oxfordshire’s large primary landscape of 242 state schools, where just 13 hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself was graded Good in its most recent inspection in 2023, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good. Among its local peers in the same local authority, the top-performing schools by ranking score include Longworth Primary School and Hornton Primary School, both scoring 100, and Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England Primary School at 92. Barton Park is a mixed, non-religious primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Bryony McCraw. Its relatively small roll of 179 pupils sits well below its capacity of 315, suggesting room for growth, though the school is already oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake.
