67th of 138 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 147 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 4,205 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 41% | 2.23 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 26% | 0.76 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Moulton Primary School
Overview
Moulton Primary School continues to be a good school, situated at the centre of its community where pupils feel safe and happy. Leaders have established a broad and ambitious curriculum that helps pupils build a depth of knowledge, particularly in subjects like mathematics and history. The school fosters a positive environment where staff are valued and pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves.
Strengths
- A systematic approach to phonics ensures most pupils become fluent readers and develop a love of reading.
- Teachers in mathematics and history draw on strong subject expertise to present ideas clearly and match activities to intended outcomes.
- The early years curriculum is carefully organised, with purposeful activities and resources like the ‘creative classroom’ supporting independent learning.
- Staff pay close attention to the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, using therapies and support to help them access learning.
- Leaders promote personal development well through a wide range of clubs, performances, and music opportunities.
Areas to improve
- In computing and design and technology, some teachers are in the early stages of developing subject knowledge, meaning pupils do not yet build a rich store of knowledge in these subjects. Leaders should ensure staff receive suitable training to teach important knowledge effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with governors checking procedures, staff receiving regular training, and leaders working in partnership with external agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
