Windale Primary School
About Windale Primary School
When you compare Windale Primary School against the Oxfordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2, the picture is fairly balanced. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, and Windale’s figure of 59% is just two percentage points below that benchmark. That’s a narrow gap, and it suggests the school is broadly in line with its local peers rather than significantly ahead or behind. Where Windale does stand out is in reading: 82% of pupils met the expected standard, and 59% reached the higher standard — both well above what you might typically see in a school with this overall profile. The maths average score of 105 and reading average of 109 are solid, though maths progress data isn’t available to compare directly. The school ranks 19th out of 31 primary schools in Oxford, placing it in the bottom half of the LA, but that ranking is based on a single metric and doesn’t capture the full story.
