About Langford Village Community Primary School

Langford Village Community Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires improvement rating in 2010. The school's leadership and management were also judged Good. When it comes to the most telling exam metric, the school's Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 38% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is notably below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally. The school ranks 42nd out of 45 schools in the Cherwell district on this combined measure, and 197th out of 242 similar schools across Oxfordshire. While the school's overall Ofsted rating is positive, the KS2 outcomes suggest that academic attainment at the expected level is an area where the school is working to catch up with its peers.
