About Freeland Church of England Primary School

Freeland Church of England Primary School’s headline metrics stand well above the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 86% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an Oxfordshire average of 61%. That gap of 25 percentage points is significant and places Freeland among the strongest performers in the county. The school ranks 14th out of 242 primary schools in the local authority, putting it comfortably in the top 10% of its peers. Across the South East region, it sits in the 4th percentile nationally, and within West Oxfordshire specifically it ranks 4th out of 44 schools. For a small village primary with just 133 pupils, these figures suggest a consistent academic strength that punches well above what you might expect from a school of this size.
