Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary Church of England
1.5/10 Well below average

87th 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 4,337 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 2.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0% of pupils. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9 out of 10 among them, against 2.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join art club, choir, dance, the 144 Club, book club, Eco Team, school council, and Sports Crew, and play football. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 83 pupils in a building with 113 places, leaving 30 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What provisions exist for children arriving without prior wraparound care? How does the small class size affect individual attention during lessons?
