Check the area around this school
81st 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 4,212 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3/10 among them, against 1.1/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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 Warmington School
Overview
Warmington School is described as a “small and welcoming” institution where pupils are “happy” and feel “safe.” The report highlights that staff are “kind,” lessons are “fun,” and there are “high expectations” for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Parents express pride in the school, describing it as “nurturing and supportive.”
Strengths
- Pupils are “well supported to become confident and self-assured” and feel “ready for their next steps.”
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and, in most subjects, clearly outlines what pupils will learn to help them “build their knowledge over time.”
- Provision for pupils with SEND is a “strength,” with needs identified “quickly” and appropriate support provided to foster independence.
- Reading is a “clear priority,” with effective phonics training and support ensuring pupils can “read confidently.”
- Staff feel “very well supported with their workload and well-being,” describing the school environment as “like family.”
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of foundation subjects,” it is “not yet clear what pupils will learn and when,” preventing some pupils from developing a “secure understanding” of knowledge.
- Teachers’ use of checks to assess what pupils know is “not yet consistent across all subjects,” particularly in foundation subjects.
