About St Mary and St John Church of England Primary School

St Mary and St John Church of England Primary School in Oxford is a state primary that is clearly in demand. With 398 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is running close to full, and the 2025/26 admissions data tells a story of significant oversubscription: 147 applications for 56 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.63, and all 55 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with 11.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals compared to a typical primary figure of around 23% across England. As a Church of England school under headteacher Rebekah Stott, it serves a mixed cohort of boys and girls aged 4 to 11. The strong demand suggests a school that local families are actively choosing, and the demographic profile points to a relatively affluent catchment area within Oxfordshire.
