Mixed Primary Church of England
8.9/10 Well above average

1st 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 1,859 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.0/10 among them, against 8.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 80.0 · 88 62% 5.39
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 20.0 · 92 38% 3.53

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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 20.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.0 out of 10 among them, against 8.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in The Lion King Production, Dance, and Frozen. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 114 pupils in a building with 108 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for the 6 pupils exceeding the stated capacity? What specific support is offered to the 20.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
