Walgrave Primary School
Northampton, NN6 9PH · West Northamptonshire · primary school
36th 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 4,312 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 62% | 4.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.55 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Musical Theatre, Band, Gymnastics, Basketball, and Football clubs. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 149 pupils in a school with 210 places, there are 61 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils aiming for the higher standard, given that only 5.0% currently achieve it? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain engagement for students in classes that are smaller than the building’s capacity?
