Overstone Primary School
Northampton, NN6 0AG · West Northamptonshire · primary school
57th 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 4,081 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.4/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir and participate in Dancing Schools UK competitions, the Rotary Club concert, and the First Access Project. Trips include visits to the Sea Life Centre, London Zoo, Roman Museum, Whitemoor Lakes, PGL, and local village landmarks. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 205 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 5 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths given the results below the national median? What are the specific times for the choir and dance rehearsals? How do parents manage the lack of wraparound care before and after school hours?
