King's Meadow Primary School
About King's Meadow Primary School
King's Meadow Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Oxfordshire, with 60% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 61% for primary schools, placing it 119th out of 242 schools of the same type across the county. Within Cherwell, the school ranks 25th out of 45 primaries, putting it just above the midpoint. The school's headline figure is a solid, unremarkable performance rather than an outlier, and the breakdown shows a familiar pattern: reading (82% expected) and maths (78% expected) are stronger than writing (75% expected). At the higher standard, only 5% of pupils achieve the combined benchmark, though 18% hit the higher bar in maths and 22% in reading. The school's ranking score of 60 places it in the bottom half nationally, but that is a function of the competitive landscape rather than any serious weakness.
