About Rose Hill Primary School

Rose Hill Primary School in Oxford is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 281 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is running well below its maximum. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44.6%, significantly higher than the national average, which typically sits around 23-24% for primary schools. This high FSM figure indicates a catchment serving a notably disadvantaged community. Despite the available capacity, the school is oversubscribed for 2025/26: it received 51 applications for 28 places, with all 28 first-preference applicants receiving offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.82. This suggests strong local demand, even though the school is not full overall, possibly reflecting preferences for specific year groups or the nursery provision. The school is led by headteacher Rhiannon Wilkie and has no religious character.
