About Radley Church of England Primary School

Radley Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has held consistently across its previous inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 60%. That figure is almost exactly in line with the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing Radley in a solidly middle-of-the-road position. In the Vale of White Horse, it ranks 23rd out of 47 primary schools on this measure, and nationally it sits in the 57th percentile. The school’s overall ranking within the local authority is 117th out of 242 primary schools, which puts it comfortably in the middle third of Oxfordshire primaries. For a small village school with just 170 pupils, these results suggest a dependable, if not exceptional, academic offering.
