About Fir Tree Junior School

Fir Tree Junior School in South Oxfordshire is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and the numbers suggest it’s a popular choice among local families. The school is oversubscribed, with 235 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, indicating that demand is high and places are tight. Parent satisfaction data isn’t available in the school’s records, but the oversubscription ratio alone signals strong community confidence. The school is led by headteacher Marc Knight and was last inspected by Ofsted in 2022, when it was judged to remain Good following an ungraded visit. That rating has been consistent since at least 2013, when it was also rated Good in a graded inspection. With no religious character and a mixed intake, Fir Tree serves a broad cross-section of families in the area, and 14.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
