Newnham Primary School
Daventry, NN11 3HG · West Northamptonshire · primary school
77th of 139 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 148 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 1,405 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8 out of 10 among them, against 4.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in football, rugby, netball, swimming, cross country, and athletics, alongside the Shakespeare Schools Festival and A Big Sing. Trips include Lincoln Castle, Gainsborough Old Hall, the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Nevill Holt Farm, and residential visits. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. With 82 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 110, there are 28 spare places. 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 arrive without prior wraparound care? What specific strategies are used to close the gap between the 55.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the small class size influence individual teaching time?
