Check the area around this school
41st of 138 primary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 147 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 — 6.8/10 against 3,839 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Staverton Church of England Voluntary Primary School
Overview
Staverton Church of England Voluntary Primary School continues to be a good school, offering pupils a "calm and settled environment" where they feel safe and happy. Leaders have established an "ambitious, well-planned curriculum" with high expectations for behaviour and achievement, supported by effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning in a positive atmosphere with "positive relationships between staff and pupils" and rare bullying.
- The curriculum is clearly structured, with teachers using effective methods like the "my turn, our turn, your turn" approach to model new content.
- Reading is prioritised, with staff well-trained in phonics and quick to address misconceptions, helping pupils become "confident and fluent readers".
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported through adapted teaching and "pre- and post-teach" activities, allowing them to follow the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
- The school is "well led and managed," with staff feeling proud of their work and appreciative of leaders’ consideration of workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, pupils spend too long on work that does not deepen their learning, repeating tasks they have already covered. Leaders should ensure teachers build on prior knowledge to help pupils achieve more.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" where staff receive regular training, keep detailed records, and act quickly to protect pupils.
