Schools in Henley-on-Thames
Henley-on-Thames has 12 schools including 8 primaries and 1 secondary, coordinated primarily by Oxfordshire County Council. The average fill rate across 11 schools is 82 per cent, and three are oversubscribed. The single secondary serves a wide rural catchment, so families outside the town itself should check last-distance-offered data carefully before applying.
Six schools carry Roman Catholic or Church of England designations — a high proportion for a market town of this size — meaning faith criteria apply at the majority of local schools. Two operate as academies with independent admissions. All three of the recently Ofsted-rated schools hold Good, reflecting consistent quality across the rated provision.
