Oxfordshire Primary Schools score badly


In Bloxham we are fortunate to now have a primary School that Ofsted rate as good on all the main measures but this is not true across the majority of Oxfordshire’s 230+ primary schools.
The County comes out very low down the tables published by Ofsted today showing the Percentage of pupils attending good or outstanding primary schools.
One would not expect a relatively affluent county like Oxfordshire to be ‘achieving’ a figure of 59% when Middlesborough can muster 81%, Liverpool 77%, Tower Hamlets 74% and Manchester 70%.
Raw Tables are always simplistic but at the very least the data poses some interesting questions as to why Oxfordshire is loitering in the bottom quarter of the Tables and more importantly just what Oxfordshire County Council is going to do about it!
