St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Aston-le-Walls
Daventry, NN11 6UF · West Northamptonshire · primary school
129th 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 — 0.2/10 against 3,951 of them, against 0.6/10 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 | 29.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 29.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Cooking, Arts and Crafts, Fencing, and Tennis clubs, play football, dodgeball, and rugby, and receive music tuition or join the County Orchestra. Year 5 and 6 students attend a residential trip to the Rock Centre in Wales. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 81 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 24 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 are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Year 5/6 residential trip? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
