Mixed Primary
5.4/10 Broadly average

55th of 139 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 148 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.2/10 against 4,220 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 73.0 · 73 62% 4.51
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 2.0 · 24 38% 0.92

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 395 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 25 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children joining the 25 remaining places?
