Fairford Church of England Primary School
About Fairford Church of England Primary School
Fairford Church of England Primary School has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a significant jump from its previous Good rating, and the most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both judged Outstanding. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, placing Fairford in the top half of primary schools nationally and in the top third within the South West region. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 26% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects.
