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. This places the school below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, and ranks it 172nd out of 242 primary schools in the county. In the Cherwell district specifically, the school sits at 40th out of 45 primaries on this measure.
