About Benson Church of England Primary School

Benson Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, with all inspected areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each receiving a Good judgement. The school’s most informative academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 56% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 135th out of 242 primary schools in the county. In the more localised South Oxfordshire district, it ranks 33rd out of 48 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. Nationally, the school sits in the 33rd percentile, meaning roughly two-thirds of primary schools achieve a higher combined expected standard. The picture is nuanced: while the combined figure is modest, individual subject scores are more encouraging, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, maths and writing separately.
