St Gregory's Catholic Primary School

Northampton, NN3 2AX · West Northamptonshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
4.4/10 Broadly average

78th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.1/10 against 2,941 of them, against 4.0/10 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.

MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 63.0 · 46 40% 1.86
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 3.0 · 29 25% 0.73

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 with the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Football Club, KS1 and KS2 Gymnastics, and Pacesetter Games. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 254 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 166 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 are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
