About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School, Child Okeford

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School, Child Okeford, is a small state primary in Dorset with 133 pupils, and its headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 36% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Dorset average of 56% for similar schools. That 20-point gap places the school 63rd out of 68 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the bottom half of the county. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 57% did so in writing, but maths was weaker at 36%. Only 14% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading or maths, and none did in writing. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds, but the raw outcomes suggest that academic attainment is an area where the school is working against the grain of its local peers.
