Statutory proposal - Expansion of Woodstock Church of England Primary School

Following a 4-week informal consultation held between 26 January and 23 February 2022, Oxfordshire County Council, working with the leadership team of the school, now formally proposes to expand Woodstock CE Primary School from 1.5 forms of entry to 2 forms of entry. This would mean an increase in Woodstock’s annual admission number in September 2023 from 45 pupils to 60 pupils on a permanent basis.

The proposed expansion of the school would mean that each year group that starts at the school from September 2023 onward would consist of up to 60 places, making a maximum total of 420 pupils in Reception to Year 6 across the whole school eventually.

The proposed expansion would:

  • Ensure the county council meets its statutory duty to secure sufficient school places, in an area where demand is expected to increase rapidly due to the cumulative effect of planned and permitted housing development.
  • Be supportive of high educational standards and parental choice. Woodstock CE Primary School is rated Outstanding by Ofsted (last inspected 2013) and its last published performance data (2019) shows the school is performing consistently above the national and local authority level.
  • Maintain parental choice for existing families and those moving into the Woodstock area.
  • Provide necessary additional infrastructure to support local housing growth.
  • Prevent unnecessary increases in travel time and costs for families in the area, who would otherwise have to accept places at schools outside Woodstock.

The full details of this proposal are included in the statutory proposal located in attached documents.

This consultation closed at midnight on Wednesday 6 April 2020.

The results of the consultation were reported to the OCC Cabinet Member responsible for Education, twho approved the proposal on 24 May 2022. Further details are available at:
