About Madley Brook Community Primary School

Madley Brook Community Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in West Oxfordshire, currently teaching 235 pupils against a capacity of 315, so there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 8.4%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 70 applications for just 21 places, with all 21 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That works out at more than three applicants per place, a clear signal of local popularity. The school has nursery provision for children from age three, feeding into the main school, and its non-religious character means it draws from a broad cross-section of the community. With a headteacher in place and a Good Ofsted rating from 2022, it presents as a stable, well-regarded option for families in the area.
