About Culworth Church of England Primary Academy

Culworth Church of England Primary Academy is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire, one of 147 schools of its type in the local authority. With just 101 pupils on roll, it is a notably intimate setting, and its Church of England character gives it a distinct identity within the local landscape. However, when it comes to academic rankings, the school sits near the bottom of the LA table. Its ranking score of 54 places it 103rd out of 134 schools in the authority, and 102nd when looking at all same-type schools in the area. For context, the top-performing local peers — Helmdon Primary School, Greatworth Primary School, and The Bramptons Primary School — all achieved ranking scores of 93 or above. Culworth’s position places it in the bottom 50 nationally, a significant gap from these nearby schools that parents may want to consider when weighing up options.
