About St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School
St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School in Oxford delivers Key Stage 2 results that sit comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 74% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an Oxfordshire average of 61%. That puts the school in the top 25% of primaries nationally on this metric, and 7th out of 31 schools in the city of Oxford.
