Marston/Headington Primary schools

[bootsncats]

I'm moving to Oxford and house hunting around the catchment area for New Marston Primary school and wanted some feedback on the school, and others in the area. Thanks for any help!

A friend has children and she is very pleased with it. It is a mixed catchment but the head really improved the school but has now just moved on to a new place. The deputy is taking over so should be a smooth transition. We are in marston but St Nicks catchment.

Hi guys, just saw this. I'm moving to Oxford too, and considering Marston. :) Phillpot, can you tell me what Marston is like to live in? Is it family friendly, are there lots of kids activities, any particular streets to avoid etc?

I'm in Headington. Worth looking at Windmill School: they were rated Outstanding by Ofsted a couple of weeks back.

I don't know much about Marston Primary but the Old Marston is gorgeous. and expensiveq

Headington seems very popular with families, bigger with more shops, baby groups etc. marston suits us as it is near to our jobs summertown/kidlington and means we can manage with just 1 car. Old marston village is lovely, nice old houses etc but pricier. There is a good sure start children's centre with a sports centre up the road on the way to summertown. Depends on what age your children are really.

Thank you all for your replies. I would agree with Phillpot12 regarding Headington.
