About Ducklington Primary School

Ducklington Primary School was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently since at least 2012. The most telling exam metric for this Church of England primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 50% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 169th out of 242 similar schools in the county. In the more local West Oxfordshire ranking, it comes 35th out of 44 schools. The data suggests a school where outcomes are mixed, with some subjects performing better than others. For instance, 80% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, compared with 67% in both reading and writing. At the higher standard, just 7% achieved the top marks across all three subjects, though 30% did so in reading and 23% in maths.
