About Boughton Primary School

Boughton Primary School sits within the West Northamptonshire local authority, where it ranks 62nd out of 134 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it just above the middle of the pack, though it is some way behind the top-performing peers in the area: Helmdon Primary School and Greatworth Primary School both score a perfect 100 on the same ranking metric, while The Bramptons Primary School follows closely with a score of 93. For families looking closer to the top of the local league table, the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Kings Heath Primary Academy, 3.8 kilometres away. Boughton itself has been consistently rated Good across its inspections, with its most recent ungraded visit in January 2023 confirming the school remains Good. The previous graded inspection, in 2012, also awarded Good for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision, so the school has held a stable rating for over a decade.
