99th of 138 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 147 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,831 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 2.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 53.0 · 24 | 41% | 0.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 26% | 0.75 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints CofE VA Primary School
Overview
All Saints CofE VA Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report describes a school with an “inclusive and caring ethos” where pupils feel “safe and happy” and demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning. Leaders have established a curriculum with “breadth and depth,” ensuring knowledge builds logically over time, while staff provide strong pastoral support through initiatives like the ‘Rainbow Room’.
Strengths
- The curriculum is well-structured, with subject leaders breaking down key concepts to ensure teachers deliver content in a “logical order” that builds pupils’ knowledge.
- Leaders prioritise reading, training staff as “early reading experts” who quickly identify and support pupils who fall behind.
- Pupils benefit from strong pastoral care, including access to trusted adults and spaces like the ‘Soothe Booth’ for emotional regulation.
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Pupils engage in wider development opportunities, such as taking on roles like “junior leader” and participating in community charity events.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the new phonics programme matches books precisely to pupils’ phonic knowledge so early readers can become “fluent and confident readers” more quickly.
- Teachers must use assessment consistently well across all foundation subjects to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with staff receiving regular training and undertaking daily well-being checks on vulnerable pupils.
