Family Friendly Areas to Move in Oxford

We are currently considering moving to Oxford as my partner is starting a new role at the University of Oxford. Initially, we would prefer to rent rather than buy. Our main priority when choosing where to live is access to a good primary school and a family-friendly area.

Our research so far has led us to the area I’ve marked, but it seems to be one of the most competitive areas as the Wolvercote Primary is one of the best schools. We were wondering if any locals could advise whether we’re focusing on the right area, or if we don’t need to limit ourselves so strictly to this location.
