Charlton Primary School
About Charlton Primary School
Charlton Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in October 2024 where standards were confirmed as being upheld. The most telling academic metric for this 2-11 mixed state primary is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 53% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, and places the school 153rd out of 242 primary schools in the county. In the Vale of White Horse, it ranks 32nd out of 47 schools on the same measure. Digging into the individual subjects, reading and writing both saw 71% and 72% of pupils reach the expected standard respectively, while maths was also at 72%. However, only 5% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 7% did so in maths, suggesting the school is stronger at getting children to a solid baseline than pushing them into the top tier.
