About Bayards Hill School

Bayards Hill School, a state primary in Oxford, sits in the middle of the pack when compared with other schools in Oxfordshire. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 60%, which is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 61%. This places the school 118th out of 242 primary schools in the county, a solidly mid-table position. However, the school serves a significantly more disadvantaged cohort than many of its peers, with 46.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average. Against that backdrop, achieving results so close to the LA average is notable. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019.
