About New Marston Primary School

New Marston Primary School sits in a strong position academically, particularly when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Oxfordshire local authority average. The school reports that 78% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is a clear 17 percentage points above the LA average of 61%. That gap is significant and suggests the school is delivering well above the typical outcomes for primary schools in the area. In terms of rankings, the school places 4th out of 31 primary schools in Oxford city, putting it in the top 13% locally, and 265th out of over 2,000 primaries in the South East region. Nationally, it sits in the top 15% of all primary schools. For a state primary with a slightly above-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (20.9%), these results are particularly notable.
