The Latimer Arts College
Kettering, NN15 6SW · North Northamptonshire · secondary school
5th of 19 secondary schools in North Northamptonshire we can score, 21 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 — 4.7/10 against 920 of them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 40.0 · 40 | 30% | 1.21 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.23 · 67 | 25% | 1.68 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.8 · 45 | 10% | 0.45 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023. In 2024/25, 40.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.8, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.23 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than expected based on their starting points. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Crest Award, DofE (Bronze), and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. Sports include the UK Sports Tour and Inter-House competitions. Arts activities feature Music Concerts, the Latimer Dance Show, and the Move-It Dance Exhibition. Trips range from a Ski Trip and Normandy Excursion to visits to Wimbledon, the Black Country Museum, and Cambridge. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1219 pupils in a school with 1277 places, leaving 58 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the after-school club
