About Great Milton Church of England Primary School

Great Milton Church of England Primary School sits in the Oxfordshire local authority, where it ranks 41st out of 242 primary schools of the same type. That places it comfortably in the top quarter of its local peers, though it sits behind the three highest-scoring schools in the area: Longworth Primary School, Hornton Primary School, and Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England Primary School, each of which achieved a perfect or near-perfect ranking score. The school itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and has maintained through an ungraded inspection in February 2024, when inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management were also judged Good in that graded inspection. This is a Church of England primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, with 172 children on roll against a capacity of 210, and it serves the South Oxfordshire area under headteacher Alyson Frost.

Academically, the school performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Oxfordshire LA average of 61%. Reading was a particular strength: the average scaled score was 110, and 60% of pupils achieved the higher standard. In maths, the average score was 106, with 28% reaching the higher threshold. Writing saw 20% of pupils hit the higher standard. The school’s overall ranking score of 76 places it in the top 25% nationally, and 13th out of 48 schools in the South Oxfordshire district. Its national percentile of 17.2 means it outperforms the vast majority of primary schools across England. While progress scores are not available in the data, the attainment figures alone suggest a solid academic foundation for most children.

The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 58 applications for 29 places, with 27 first-preference offers made from 29 first-preference applications. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2:1, so families should apply early. Facilities include a library, dining hall, gymnasium, playing fields, art studios, music rooms, a forest school and a chapel. Sports on offer are football, dance, cricket, swimming and rounders, and clubs range from gardening and book club to eco club, science club and art club. The school supports children with moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a well-regarded village primary that suits families who value strong core attainment, a Church of England ethos, and a broad range of enrichment activities within a relatively small school community.
