Lewknor Church of England Primary School
About Lewknor Church of England Primary School
Lewknor Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in South Oxfordshire, with just 76 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, meaning there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9. 2%, which is below the national average and reflects the relatively affluent catchment. Despite its size, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 46 applications for just 11 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4. 18 to one. Only five first-preference offers were made, suggesting that many families who put it top of their list were unsuccessful. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Tom Powell. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in April 2025, judged it Good across all areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — maintaining the same rating it received in its previous inspection in 2012.
