Check the area around this school
65th 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 1,727 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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) 2023/24 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Naseby Church of England Primary Academy
Overview
Naseby Church of England Primary Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as happy and well cared for within a ‘friendly village school’ that instils a ‘strong sense of belonging’. The school provides a high-quality education with a comprehensive personal development programme, ensuring pupils are well-prepared for their next steps.
Strengths
- A ‘vibrant reading culture’ exists, with staff teaching phonics well and guiding pupils to ‘think deeply’ about texts through skilful questioning.
- There is a ‘keen focus on vocabulary development’, enabling pupils to be ‘articulate when sharing their ideas’ and explain their thinking precisely.
- The school identifies additional needs early, providing ‘bespoke resources’ so pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities can access suitable learning and succeed.
- Staff morale is high, with a ‘positive team spirit’ and staff feeling ‘well supported with their workload’.
- Improved systems for dealing with absence mean that ‘pupils rarely miss school’.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, key knowledge is not revisited consistently, meaning some pupils do not remember important learning securely.
- Staff do not always resolve pupils’ misconceptions well enough, leading some to repeat the same mistakes, particularly in their written work.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
