About St Christopher's Church of England School

St Christopher's Church of England School sits slightly below the Oxfordshire local authority average for primary schools when it comes to the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school's figure of 57% compares with a county average of 61%, placing it 133rd out of 242 primary schools in the authority. That said, the gap is modest, and the school's performance in individual subjects tells a more nuanced story. In writing, 76% of pupils met the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and 24% reached the higher standard — a stronger showing than in reading or maths. Reading scores were more mixed: 67% hit the expected level and 19% reached the higher threshold, while the average reading score of 105 is solid. Maths was the weakest area, with 57% at the expected level and an average score of 101. The school ranks 25th out of 44 primaries in West Oxfordshire on the combined measure, placing it in the bottom half locally.
