About Longworth Primary School

Longworth Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 58 applications for just 15 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.87. Seventeen families put it as their first preference, and all 15 of those offers went to first-preference applicants, which tells you how sought-after it is. The school is a small, state-funded Christian primary for mixed genders aged 5 to 11, tucked away in the Vale of White Horse. With only 79 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it’s not at full stretch, yet the demand still far outstrips supply. That kind of competition usually signals strong word-of-mouth, and the data backs that up: in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was rated Good across the board, including for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That’s a solid improvement from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010, but the current Good is still a strong endorsement for parents looking for a well-run, orderly environment.
