About Garsington Church of England Primary School

Garsington Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is running very close to full capacity with 209 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.6%, which is notably below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 69 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. Of those 69 applications, 19 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all 19 of those first-preference families. This level of competition indicates that Garsington is a popular choice among local parents, and the school's Church of England character may also be a draw for families seeking a faith-based setting in the South Oxfordshire area.
