About Drayton Community Primary School

Drayton Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 63 applications for just 22 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 86. Of those, all 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option.

The school is led by headteacher Katrine Deeks and caters for 203 pupils aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It is a mixed, state-funded primary in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, with no religious character. In its most recent graded inspection in 2014, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, with Good for leadership and management.
