Hayfield Cross CofE School
Kettering, NN15 5FJ · North Northamptonshire · primary school
56th 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 2,520 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including crochet, mindfulness, board games, Digital Leaders, Puzzle Magic, Spiritual Ambassadors, and Eco Club. Sports options feature Pacesetter Sports, cheerleading, archery, and tag rugby. Arts and music are supported by Rocksteady Music School, NMPAT lessons, and BHVA Dance & Drama squads. Trips include a seaside visit and residential trips for Year 4 and Year 6. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 420 pupils in a school with 420 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the expected standard? What are the entry requirements for the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current capacity?
