About Hailey Church of England Primary School

Hailey Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in West Oxfordshire with 96 pupils on roll against a capacity of 115, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 6.4 per cent, well below the national average, reflecting the largely affluent catchment. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 22 applications for just 10 places, with all 10 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2 to 1. The school has a Church of England character and a nursery provision for three-year-olds, and is led by headteacher Deborah Davies. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025, the school retained its Good rating, with behaviour and attitudes judged Outstanding — a notable improvement on the previous inspection in 2011, where behaviour was not separately graded.
