Source: DfE Get Information About Schools
Are there any Outstanding schools in Oxfordshire?
None of the 1 graded schools in Oxfordshire currently holds an Outstanding rating. 1 is rated Good, so 100% are Good or better. Ofsted stopped giving single-word overall grades in September 2024, so these are the grades from each school's last full inspection.

Do schools in Oxfordshire have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Oxfordshire have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Oxfordshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Oxfordshire?
Apply to Oxfordshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
