Nettlebed Community School
About Nettlebed Community School
Nettlebed Community School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded visit in 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 47% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 178th out of 242 primary schools in the county. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 65% of pupils reached the expected level and 41% achieved a higher standard, while the average reading score of 108 is a solid result. Maths tells a slightly different story, with 53% reaching the expected level and an average score of 104, though only 6% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
