Check the area around this school
22nd 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 — 5.9/10 against 4,194 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Bozeat Community Primary School
Overview
Pupils describe the school as ‘one big, happy community’ where they feel safe and welcome. The report highlights a ‘highly inclusive’ environment with ‘Outstanding’ early years provision, where children learn routines swiftly and concentrate exceptionally well. Leaders share a vision to create a ‘small school with big opportunities’ for all pupils.
Strengths
- Early years provision is ‘Outstanding’, with high-quality phonics lessons helping the youngest children develop a ‘love of reading’.
- Pupils are ‘polite and courteous’, enjoying ‘many sporting activities’ and clubs such as the choir and handbells.
- Staff maintain high expectations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Leaders provide consistent support, ensuring staff ‘only do what is going to make things better for the pupils’.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not well planned; pupils do not always use prior learning to ‘make sense of new eras of history’, limiting deep thinking.
- Plans for pupils with SEND ‘lack precise targets’, and gaps in knowledge are not always identified systematically or resolved promptly.
- The curriculum does not support pupils well enough to learn about British values, cultures, and faiths; pupils often struggle to explain the ‘distinctive nature of fundamental British values’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
