Campion School
Northampton, NN7 3QG · West Northamptonshire · secondary school
10th of 22 secondary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 23 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 — 6.5/10 against 936 of them, against 6.4/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 16 | 35% | 0.58 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 52.2 · 69 | 30% | 2.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.17 · 62 | 25% | 1.56 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.2 · 53 | 10% | 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, 52.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Gaming and Reading clubs.
Getting in. The school has 1318 pupils in a capacity of 1455 places, leaving 137 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 137 places remaining, how quickly do these fill up for new year groups? Since the Progress 8 score is only slightly above zero, what specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap? How does the school support students who do not attend the optional clubs?
