About Gagle Brook Primary School

Gagle Brook Primary School in Cherwell is a state-funded mixed primary school for children aged 3 to 11, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and early years provision. That’s a solid, consistent result, but the real story here is how the school compares with the wider Oxfordshire picture. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 61, and while Gagle Brook’s own KS2 data isn’t provided in this snapshot, the school’s oversubscription figures tell their own story: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 62 applications for just 24 places, with all 24 first-preference families offered a spot. That’s an oversubscription ratio of 2.58, meaning nearly three families compete for every place. In a county with 242 primary schools and only 13 rated Outstanding, Gagle Brook’s Good rating and high demand suggest it’s performing well above the typical local offering.
