St Mary's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
Kettering, NN16 0JH · North Northamptonshire · primary school
12th 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 — 7.2/10 against 2,927 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 62% | 4.91 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.55 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a bike mechanics club, play football or gymnastics, and take part in dance. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 262 pupils in a school with 266 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school handle waiting lists for new starters? How does the breakfast club support children who arrive before the main school day begins? What specific support is available for the 5.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard?
