Boddington Church of England Primary Academy
About Boddington Church of England Primary Academy
Boddington Church of England Primary Academy is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire that, based on the available data, appears to be performing broadly in line with the local authority average for its type. The most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in 2021, rated the school Good overall, with Good for both leadership and management and overall effectiveness. This is a solid, dependable rating, though it falls short of the 11 schools in the LA that have achieved Outstanding. The school’s previous graded inspection in 2012 also awarded a Good, and the 2021 ungraded inspection confirmed it remains Good. With just 48 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, the school is significantly undersubscribed, which is unusual for a primary in this area. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 63, and while Boddington’s own KS2 results are not provided in this data, the school’s overall profile suggests it is a steady, if not standout, performer within its local context.
