Check the area around this school
84th 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 2,499 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.19 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Titchmarsh Church of England Primary School
Overview
Titchmarsh Church of England Primary School is described as a "welcoming and nurturing community" where pupils are happy, feel safe, and behave positively. While attendance is high and early years provision is strong, the report notes that teaching quality is inconsistent and pupil achievement does not sustain the positive start made in the early years, leaving some pupils less well prepared for their next educational steps.
Strengths
- Attendance is above national figures, with leaders building "warm, trusting relationships" and taking quick action when attendance falls.
- Behaviour is excellent; the school is "calm, orderly and welcoming," with bullying and discrimination being rare.
- Early years provision is effective, with children making a "positive start" and benefiting from carefully planned transitions and strong partnerships with parents.
- Staff are proud to work at the school, describing it as a community where everyone is valued, and professional learning is "increasingly evidence-informed."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive "tailored support" that helps them make progress from their starting points.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum is suitably designed for mixed-age classes so all pupils make suitable progress, as current adaptations are not consistently effective.
- Staff expertise in assessment needs development to swiftly identify and address misconceptions, ensuring pupils build knowledge securely and achieve well.
- Governors and leaders must develop a stronger understanding of their statutory responsibilities and challenge leaders with sufficient rigour to ensure actions are strategically targeted.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified and managed.
