About Stockham Primary School

Stockham Primary School has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection, a significant step up from its previous Good rating. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both judged Outstanding. However, the ungraded inspection that followed noted that some aspects were not as strong, suggesting the school is not resting on its laurels. When it comes to the key academic measure for primary schools, 61% of Stockham’s Year 6 pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is exactly in line with the local authority average for Oxfordshire, placing the school in the middle of the pack nationally and regionally. In the Vale of White Horse, it ranks 22nd out of 47 primary schools on this metric, putting it just inside the top half of its immediate area.
