Beanfield Primary School
Corby, NN18 0LJ · North Northamptonshire · primary school
72nd of 91 primary schools in North Northamptonshire we can score, 111 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 — 1.8/10 against 2,437 of them, against 2.0/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.0 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 705 pupils in a school with 486 places, meaning it is over capacity by 219. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard? How does the current Ofsted rating reflect recent changes since the 2022 inspection?
