About Bure Park Primary School

Bure Park Primary School, a state primary in Cherwell, Oxfordshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 55% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure sits below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally. In the Cherwell district, it ranks 34th out of 45 schools on this measure. While the combined headline is modest, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and 69% did so in reading, both respectable figures. However, only 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, suggesting the school is stronger at moving children to the expected level than pushing them into the top tier.
