About Ashby Fields Primary School

Ashby Fields Primary School sits just above the local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with 65% compared to West Northamptonshire's 63%. That's a modest but meaningful edge, and it's backed up by stronger reading scores: the average reading scaled score of 107 is notably solid, and 41% of pupils hit the higher standard in reading, a figure that suggests the school is particularly effective at stretching its more able readers. Maths is a little more mixed — 81% reached the expected level, which is decent, but only 20% achieved the higher standard, and no pupils reached the higher mark in writing. The school ranks 57th out of 134 primary schools in the local authority, placing it just inside the top half, and 6156th nationally out of 13686. It's not a standout performer, but it's a reliable, above-average option for families in the area.
