About Kirtlington Church of England Primary School
Kirtlington Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 50% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year.
