About Oxford Road Community School
Oxford Road Community School sits in the middle of the pack when it comes to Reading primary schools, with 57% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is four percentage points below the local authority average of 61%, and places the school 24th out of 38 primaries in Reading. Digging into the individual subjects, the school performs strongest in reading, where 80% of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score was 107. Maths followed at 77% expected, with an average score of 106. Writing was the weakest area, with 70% reaching the expected level, though 13% achieved the higher standard. The school ranks in the bottom half nationally, sitting at the 65th percentile among all primary schools in England. Compared with its nearest outstanding-rated neighbour, All Saints Junior School, which sits just half a kilometre away, Oxford Road's headline attainment is noticeably lower.
