About St Michael's CofE Primary School, Oxford City

St Michael's CofE Primary School in Oxford City is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 203 children against a capacity of 210. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 95 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.17 to one. Of those, 33 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.9%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. Headteacher Rosalind Owen leads a Church of England school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2012 graded inspection, and the school remains Good following an ungraded visit in March 2022.
