About Gayton Church of England Primary School

Gayton Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results present a mixed picture when set against the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 50%, which is notably below the LA average of 63%. This places Gayton in the bottom half of primary schools within the authority, ranking 112th out of 147. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In both reading and maths, 78% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average scaled scores of 105 in each subject are solid. The school’s small size — just 57 pupils against a capacity of 74 — means these percentages can swing significantly from one cohort to the next, so the combined figure may reflect a particularly challenging year group rather than a systemic issue.
