Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School
About Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School
Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result comfortably beats the Oxfordshire local authority average for primary schools. The school saw 67% of its pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 61%. That six-percentage-point gap places it in the top half of schools locally, ranking 77th out of 242 primary schools in Oxfordshire. The school’s own ranking score of 67 puts it in the top 50% nationally, too. But the story is not just about meeting expectations — it is about exceeding them. In reading, 39% of pupils achieved the higher standard, and the average reading score of 106 is well above the national benchmark of 100. Maths and writing each saw 11% of pupils reach the higher threshold, and the average maths score of 102 also sits above the national average. For a small school with just 97 pupils, these are solid, above-average outcomes that suggest consistent teaching across the core subjects.
