62nd 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 4,247 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| 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 Flore Church of England Primary School
Overview
Flore Church of England Primary School is described as an inclusive village school where pupils feel safe and part of a ‘strong, supportive school community’. The report highlights ‘exemplary’ behaviour and attitudes, noting that staff have high expectations and pupils are eager to learn. Overall effectiveness is judged as Good, marking an improvement from the previous inspection.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is ‘exemplary’, with students listening carefully and supporting each other through class ‘charters’ that promote respect.
- Teachers possess ‘good subject knowledge’ and effectively address misconceptions, ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Innovative approaches to reading, such as the weekly ‘book flash’, foster a love of literature, while consistent phonics teaching ensures children catch up quickly if they fall behind.
- The school fosters strong community links, including visits to the church and May Day celebrations, making pupils feel it is ‘like home’.
- Staff workload is considered, and governors know the school well, contributing to a positive working environment.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum plans in a few subjects do not consistently identify the most important content, meaning pupils’ recall is not as strong as in other areas.
- Pupils’ understanding of equality is underdeveloped; they cannot always recall protected characteristics or describe their significance, requiring more meaningful revisits across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
