About Wychwood Church of England Primary School

Wychwood Church of England Primary School sits comfortably above the Oxfordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 67% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That six-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and the school’s ranking of 75th out of 242 primary schools in the county places it in the top third locally. The most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024 judged every assessed category as Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. Parents are overwhelmingly positive too: 95% would recommend the school, and 96% strongly agree or agree that their child is happy there. The school has held a Good rating since at least its previous inspection in 2011, though that earlier visit flagged early years provision as Requires Improvement, which has since been upgraded to Good.
