Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.1/10 Broadly average

49th 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 3,967 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 40.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Rocksteady, NMPAT Music, Hotshots, or HP Ballerz. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 93 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 12 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the expected standard in core subjects? What provisions exist for children arriving late or leaving early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the curriculum adapt for the 13.0% who reach the higher standard?
