About Sires Hill Primary Academy

Sires Hill Primary Academy is a small state primary in South Oxfordshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for early years provision. That early years rating is a notable standout when you consider the local picture: across Oxfordshire, only 13 out of 242 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, so securing that for the nursery phase puts the school in select company. The school’s overall Good rating is solid, but it’s worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Didcot Primary Academy, is just three kilometres away, so families with a strong preference for an Outstanding school may want to compare the two. Sires Hill is also heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 83 applications for just 27 places, with 20 first-preference offers made. That works out at roughly three applicants for every place, which tells you the school is genuinely popular with local families.
