Stimpson Avenue Academy
Northampton, NN1 4LR · West Northamptonshire · primary school
102nd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,085 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 2.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| 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, 58.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 2.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include chess, crochet, cooking, digital photography, family art, and improv/drama. Sports offered are netball, badminton, curling, archery, golf, football, basketball, and gymnastics.
Getting in. The school has 449 pupils in a capacity of 420, meaning it is over capacity by 29. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the results for the higher standard were 0.0%, what specific support is provided to pupils who meet the expected standard but do not reach the higher tier? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the current cohort to the next, given the current over-enrolment?
