About Middle Barton Primary School

Middle Barton Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results stand well above the Oxfordshire local authority average, with 79% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to a county average of 61%. That 18-point gap is significant for a small village primary, and it places the school in the top 25% nationally for this headline measure. The school’s reading results are particularly striking: every single pupil met the expected standard, and 43% achieved the higher standard. In maths, 79% hit the expected mark and 29% reached the higher threshold. Writing also performed strongly, with 86% at expected and 36% at higher. These figures suggest consistent, solid teaching across the core subjects, and the school’s ranking of 9th out of 44 primary schools in West Oxfordshire confirms it’s a strong performer locally.
