About St John's Primary School

St John's Primary School in South Oxfordshire received a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2018, a significant improvement from the Requires Improvement it was given in 2016. The school has held onto that Good rating since, with an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirming it remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 43%. That figure is notably below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 186th out of 242 similar schools in the area. In the South East region, it ranks in the 88th percentile nationally, meaning around 88% of primary schools nationally achieve a higher combined expected score. The school's progress scores are not available, but the average scaled scores in reading (103) and maths (100) are close to the national benchmark of 100.
