About Stanton Harcourt CofE Primary School

Stanton Harcourt CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results stand out sharply against the Oxfordshire local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Stanton Harcourt achieves 88% — a full 27 percentage points higher. This places the school second out of 44 primary schools in West Oxfordshire, and within the top 5% nationally. Its reading and maths average scores of 111 and 109 respectively are comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, and every single pupil met the expected standard in both reading and maths individually. The school also ranks ninth within the wider Oxfordshire LA, which contains 242 primary schools. These are not marginal gains; they represent a consistently high level of academic performance that puts the school in a different league from the typical local primary.
