Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Secondary
1.0/10 Well below average

19th of 19 secondary schools in North Northamptonshire we can score, 21 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.7/10 against 612 of them, against 0.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 20.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 33.5, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.63 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.7 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Requires improvement in April 2026.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Boccia clubs, the LPA Choir, and various music ensembles including band, percussion, brass, and guitar. They participate in Boccia and Limbo sports. Arts activities include visits to the ballet, Gabrieli ROAR, the Royal Ballet & Opera, Nevill Holt Festival, BBC Singers, and the National Youth Orchestra. Trips go to the University of Nottingham, Outward Bound Trust, Lincoln Castle, and the Leicester International Music Festival. An after-school club is available.

Getting in. There are 799 pupils in a school with 1230 places, leaving 431 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
