Schools in Didcot

About schools in Didcot

Didcot lists 19 schools, most of them primary schools. Its four secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. One nursery school takes the youngest children before they start primary.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
