Check the area around this school
61st 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 4,017 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Nassington Primary School
Overview
Nassington Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy their learning and feel safe. The report highlights an ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum and effective phonics teaching, though it notes inconsistencies in how some subjects are taught and assessed.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as courteous, polite, and supportive, with a strong sense of community where ‘everyone helps each other’.
- The curriculum is ‘well-considered’ and ‘sequenced well’, building knowledge effectively from early years to Year 6.
- Phonics is a high priority with ‘effective’ checks, challenging tasks, and targeted ‘keep up’ sessions for those at risk of falling behind.
- The early years curriculum is ‘well thought through’, helping children settle quickly and develop essential skills like sorting and patterning.
- Staff feel ‘valued and respected’ with manageable workloads, and attendance is monitored carefully to reduce absence.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure ‘precise checks’ are made on pupil learning across all subjects, as current checks in some areas are not exact enough to guide staff effectively.
- SEND support documents need to provide more specific information to ensure classroom provision for pupils with special educational needs is as precise as possible.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
