Wollaston School
Wellingborough, NN29 7PH · North Northamptonshire · secondary school
6th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 848 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.2 · 51 | 30% | 1.52 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.1 · 52 | 10% | 0.52 |
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, 44.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did as well as those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Leadership Club or the Invitation club, and participate in boxing, trampolining, yoga, football, or badminton. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1431 pupils in a capacity of 1435, leaving 4 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 to maintain progress when results are at the national average? What specific support is available for students who need help reaching the 46.1 attainment benchmark? How does the leadership team plan to improve the school’s standing within similar-intake schools?
