About East Hunsbury Primary School

East Hunsbury Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit slightly below the West Northamptonshire local authority average, but the gap is narrow. In the 2023/24 academic year, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 63%. That places the school 91st out of 134 primary schools in the authority, in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading stands out as a relative strength: 76% of pupils met the expected standard and 20% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Maths is close behind at 66% expected, though only 14% reached the higher threshold. Writing lags a little, with 65% at expected and just 8% at the higher level. The school’s Progress 8 scores aren’t available in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value it adds, but the raw attainment figures suggest a solid, if unspectacular, performance.
