It serves over 400 pupils across Nursery through Year 6 (ages 3-11), including more than 40 children in the nursery class. The school operates under the Oxfordshire County Council's education authority and is overseen by a Governing Body; there is no parent company, no external ownership structure, and no commercial equity position.

The school delivers the National Curriculum across a broad subject range (Maths, English, Science, Phonics, PSHE, PE, French, Art, Computing, RE, Geography, History, Design & Technology, Music) using structured schemes including White Rose Maths (fluency and mastery with manipulatives and models), Rocket Phonics systematic synthetic phonics, and Jigsaw PSHE with mindfulness.

Specialist provision comprises a SENDCO-led graduated SEND support service (Assess-Plan-Do-Review with SEND Pupil Profiles), Forest School outdoor learning at a dedicated site, and Wrap-Around Care before/after school childcare. Behaviour management uses the Zones of Regulation whole-school approach.

The school receives funding from central government via Oxfordshire County Council, supplemented by Pupil Premium, PE and Sport Premium, SEN top-ups, Early Years funding for the nursery cohort, parental fees for wrap-around care, and PTA fundraising (Friends of Dunmore School). Admissions for Nursery and Reception are processed through the Oxfordshire County Council's official admissions framework, with in-year transfers handled directly by the school. The school received a positive Ofsted inspection outcome in November 2025, which characterised the school as inclusive and welcoming with an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum where pupils arrive confident, resilient and eager to learn.
