About Dr South's Church of England Primary School

Dr South's Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. Around 96 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 82% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 15.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 3% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 27% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Dr South's Church of England Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
