While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Sunningwell achieves 70% — a solid nine-point lead. That gap is even more pronounced in reading, where 90% of pupils meet the expected standard, and in writing, where the same figure applies. The school’s average reading score of 105 and maths score of 101 both point to a cohort performing above the national baseline. In the Vale of White Horse ranking, Sunningwell places 12th out of 47 primary schools, putting it in the top 26% locally. Nationally, it sits in the top third of all primaries.
