About South Moreton Primary School

South Moreton Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in South Oxfordshire is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 69%. That figure is notably higher than the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school comfortably above the typical primary in the area. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school’s strongest individual subject was writing, where 85% of pupils met the expected standard, while reading and maths both hit 77%. Higher attainment — reaching a greater depth in these subjects — was less common, with just 8% achieving that across all three. Nationally, the school ranks in the top third of primaries on this combined measure, sitting at the 33rd percentile.
