This Top 10 showcases nursery schools in the town of Oxford. It’s built from the latest graded Ofsted inspections. We rank Outstanding (grade 1) above Good (grade 2), then prioritise newer inspections. As tie-breakers, we consider the “Quality of education” sub-judgement (where available), then %FSM and school size.

How we rank these schools
  1. Headline Ofsted grade: Outstanding (1) outranks Good (2), then RI (3), then Inadequate (4).
  2. More recent graded inspection dates rank higher.
  3. Where available, we use the Quality of education sub-judgement as a tie-breaker.
  4. Lower free school meals (%) may break remaining ties.
  5. Larger roll (pupil count) is a final tie-breaker.

Only the ten highest-ranked schools are shown; we also list “near misses” just below.

  • Requires improvement (3): Not yet good; clear areas to improve.
  • Inadequate (4): Significant weaknesses found.

Ungraded Section 8 visits check whether the previous graded judgement still stands, but they don’t replace it.
