Check the area around this school
23rd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,024 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Geddington Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming and inclusive environment where pupils are proud to attend. The report highlights a high-quality curriculum, particularly in reading and mathematics, supported by staff who maintain high expectations and foster strong community ties.
Strengths
- Leaders have designed a curriculum where pupils build knowledge and vocabulary gradually, with sequences of learning that are well planned.
- Reading is prioritised effectively, with a well-taught phonics programme and books matched to pupils’ learning, helping them develop fluency and a love of reading.
- Pupils enjoy mathematics, using precise vocabulary to explain their thinking and regularly revisiting learning to reason and solve problems.
- The promotion of personal development is a strength, with pupils taught about respect, tolerance, British values, and diversity.
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they are fully included and can learn the curriculum successfully.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must precisely identify the key knowledge and vocabulary in some foundation subjects so pupils can develop deep, lasting understanding.
- Leaders should establish a clear structure for assessing pupils’ knowledge and understanding across the wider curriculum, as current assessment is not fully developed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving appropriate training and acting swiftly on concerns while working closely with external agencies.
