About Caldecott Primary School

Caldecott Primary School in the Vale of White Horse holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 54%. This figure is below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools, placing Caldecott in the bottom half of schools nationally on this measure. Within the Vale of White Horse, the school ranks 29th out of 47 primary schools, and across the wider Oxfordshire authority it sits at 145th out of 242. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, though individual subject scores tell a slightly more nuanced story: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 67% in writing, and 67% in maths, with average scaled scores of 103 for reading and 102 for maths.
