Badby School
About Badby School
Badby School, a state primary in West Northamptonshire, was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and confirmed to be maintaining that standard in an ungraded visit in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 67% of pupils. That figure is above the West Northamptonshire local authority average of 63%, placing Badby 51st out of 134 primary schools in the area and in the top 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 67 reflects solid, if not spectacular, performance, and it sits comfortably behind local leaders like Helmdon and Greatworth, which both score 100.
