About Beanfield Primary School

Beanfield Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in October 2022. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 41% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the North Northamptonshire local authority average of 61%, placing Beanfield 82nd out of 90 primary schools in the area. The school’s national ranking is similarly low, falling in the bottom 50% of all primaries. On individual subjects, the picture is mixed: 66% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, 63% in reading, and 61% in maths. Only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 12% reached the higher bar in maths.
