About Cosgrove Village Primary School

Cosgrove Village Primary School is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, a step down from the Outstanding it held in 2012. That places it among the majority of schools in the local authority, where only 11 out of 147 primary schools are currently rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding alternative is John Hellins Primary School, 3. 2 km away. With just 45 pupils against a capacity of 64, Cosgrove is a genuinely small village school, and its 22. 2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is above the national average for primary schools. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 12 applications for just 3 places, though all three first-preference families were offered a spot, suggesting strong local demand but a tight catchment.
