About Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School

Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: just 40% of pupils reached it in the 2023/24 results. That is well below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools. In the Vale of White Horse, the school ranks 41st out of 47 primary schools on this measure, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 10% of all primary schools. The picture is mixed by subject: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score of 104 is solid, but only 53% did so in maths, and just 40% in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in writing or in the combined measure.
