About Larkrise Primary School

Larkrise Primary School sits within the Oxfordshire local authority, a large county with 242 primary schools where just 13 currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating. Larkrise itself is rated Good, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate grade in 2018, and its most recent inspection in 2023 saw the school earn Good marks across all five categories including leadership, behaviour, and early years provision. In Oxfordshire’s primary school rankings, Larkrise places 147th out of 242, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. The top-performing peers in the same LA include Longworth Primary School and Hornton Primary School, both with perfect ranking scores, and Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England Primary School close behind. Headteacher Jon Gray leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with 430 pupils on roll against a capacity of 450, meaning the school is running very close to full.
