About Blakesley Church of England Primary School

Blakesley Church of England Primary School lands exactly on the West Northamptonshire average for its headline KS2 measure, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — the same as the local authority average of 63%. That places it 68th out of 147 primary schools in the authority, and 67th out of 134 using a slightly different ranking methodology. But the combined figure masks a striking split in individual subjects. Reading is a clear standout: every single pupil (100%) reached the expected standard, and 19% hit the higher standard. Maths and writing both saw 75% of pupils at the expected level, though no one reached the higher standard in writing. The maths average score of 104 is solid, and the reading average of 107 is notably strong. So while the headline metric is bang in line with the local average, the school is pulling that off with an unusually lopsided profile — exceptional reading outcomes compensating for more modest results elsewhere.
