About Chilton County Primary School

Chilton County Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in July 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection team judged both leadership and management, and the quality of education, as Good. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%. The school’s strongest individual subject was reading, where 78% of pupils reached the expected standard and 30% achieved the higher standard. In maths, 74% met expectations and 30% reached the higher standard. Writing was a relative weak spot, with 78% at expected but only 16% at the higher level. The school’s combined expected score of 62 places it 19th out of 47 primary schools in the Vale of White Horse district, putting it in the bottom half of local schools.
