About Bladon Church of England Primary School
Bladon Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 69 applications for just 15 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.6. Of those applications, 17 were first-preference, and all 15 places went to first-preference families. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the West Oxfordshire community. The school is led by headteacher Vickie Cook and has a Church of England religious character. It is a small primary, with 101 pupils on roll against a capacity of 98, meaning it is slightly over capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 19.8 per cent, which is a useful indicator of the school's intake. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the oversubscription figures alone tell a clear story about how local parents see it.
