Check the area around this school
58th of 138 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 147 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,236 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 5.4/10 nationally. 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 41% | 1.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.67 |
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 East Hunsbury Primary School
Overview
East Hunsbury Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming and inclusive environment where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders maintain high expectations, resulting in a strong sense of community and positive outcomes for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is described as "broad and ambitious," with knowledge well organised to help pupils build confidence, particularly in mathematics and English.
- Reading is "at the heart of the school’s curriculum," with effective support for struggling readers and a wide range of texts representing the modern world.
- Pupils with SEND are "fully included in all aspects of school life" and thrive in a nurturing environment with expert staff providing tailored support.
- Staff report feeling supported, describing themselves as "one big family," while governors and trust leaders provide effective challenge and support.
- Pupils develop into responsible citizens, engaging in community activities and learning to respect different cultures and beliefs.
Areas to improve
- Assessment of the wider curriculum is not yet fully embedded; teachers do not always identify key skills and knowledge needing further development.
- Leaders should establish a clear structure for assessing pupils’ knowledge and understanding across the wider curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are well trained, know pupils well, and report concerns promptly.
