Cosgrove Village Primary School

Cosgrove, MK19 7JH · West Northamptonshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
2.5/10 Below average

121st 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 — 0.8/10 against 2,713 of them, against 1.1/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 44.0 · 12 40% 0.47

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

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. 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 (0.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a Dance Club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 39 pupils in a school with 64 places, leaving 25 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the small class size affect individual teaching time?
