Gateway Primary School
About Gateway Primary School
Gateway Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Oxfordshire, but its headline KS2 figure tells a slightly more nuanced story. The school achieved 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year, which is below the local authority average of 61%. That places it 148th out of 242 primary schools in the county, and 29th out of 44 in West Oxfordshire specifically — firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. However, the picture isn't uniformly flat. In writing, 76% of pupils hit the expected standard, well ahead of the 67% in reading and maths. And while the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was 0%, individual subject higher scores were more encouraging: 20% in reading, 18% in maths and 9% in writing. So the school's overall ranking is dragged down by the combined measure, but individual subject performance suggests pockets of strength.
