Oundle Church of England Primary School
Peterborough, PE8 5HA · North Northamptonshire · primary school
29th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.4/10 against 3,952 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.4 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Kids4Fitness Mini Gladiators, YDP Darts, and POSH Basketball, while sports options include Tag Rugby and Archery. The school also hosts the Oundle Speech and Drama Festival and the Oundle Literary Festival. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 361 pupils in a building with 435 places, leaving 74 spare places. 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 need extra help with reading or maths, given the 6.0% higher standard figure? What are the specific times for the speech and drama festival rehearsals? How do parents manage the lack of wraparound care for early or late finishes?
