Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Primary School

Corby, NN17 1EE · North Northamptonshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.2/10 Broadly average

14th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.5/10 against 2,975 of them, against 6.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 72.0 · 71 40% 2.83
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, 72.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.

Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently name specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.

Getting in. There are 376 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 44 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific enrichment opportunities are available to students during the school day? How does the leadership team plan to maintain the Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
