About Denfield Park Primary School

Denfield Park Primary School in North Northamptonshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 59 per cent. This is just below the local authority average of 61 per cent for primary schools, placing Denfield Park 52nd out of 90 similar schools in North Northamptonshire. Nationally, the school ranks in the 59th percentile among 13,686 primary schools. While the combined expected score is close to the LA benchmark, the school’s performance in individual subjects tells a more nuanced story: 74 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 72 per cent in maths, and 66 per cent in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading and maths was 24 per cent in each, though only 3 per cent achieved the higher threshold across all three subjects.
