About Oxon CofE Primary School

Oxon CofE Primary School has been judged Outstanding by Ofsted, a rating it has held across both its most recent graded inspection in 2016 and an ungraded inspection in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Outstanding. The school’s leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all received the top grade. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 78% of Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure is significantly higher than the Shropshire local authority average of 59%, placing the school seventh out of 88 primary schools in the county and in the top 25% nationally. It is one of only seven state primary schools in Shropshire currently rated Outstanding.
