Check the area around this school
26th 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 the 4,112 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Stanwick Primary School
Overview

The school provides a high-quality education where pupils are happy, feel safe, and achieve well across the curriculum. Leaders and staff maintain high expectations, fostering a positive culture rooted in core values such as teamwork and respect.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is described as "exemplary," with lessons being calm and bullying being rare and dealt with quickly.
- The curriculum is "ambitious and relevant," with staff receiving significant training to ensure pupils deepen their knowledge and understanding.
- There is a "relentless focus on reading," resulting in pupils becoming "confident, fluent readers who appreciate books."
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is clear and effective, with staff adapting teaching to ensure full access to the curriculum.
- Children in the early years get off to a "very positive start," developing curiosity and resilience through well-designed activities.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not design learning activities that enable pupils to apply their knowledge sufficiently well, missing opportunities to broaden and deepen learning.
