Geddington Church of England Primary School

About Geddington Church of England Primary School

Geddington Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this 4-11 mixed state primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 48%. This is notably below the local authority average of 61% for North Northamptonshire, and places the school 77th out of 90 primary schools in the area. In the most recent ungraded inspection in December 2022, Ofsted confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. The school’s ranking nationally places it in the bottom half of all primary schools, at the 82nd percentile, meaning roughly 82% of schools nationally achieve a higher combined score at KS2.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the picture is mixed across individual subjects. In reading, 79% of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 105, and 28% achieved the higher standard. Maths tells a similar story: 79% reached the expected level, with an average score of 104, and 21% reached the higher standard. Writing is where the school sees a sharper drop-off, with only 59% of pupils meeting the expected standard and just 10% reaching the higher mark. This writing figure is the weakest of the three core subjects and likely drags down the combined measure. There is no progress score data available for any subject, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest writing is an area requiring attention.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 57 applications for 28 places, with 26 offers going to first-preference families. It serves 205 pupils against a capacity of 210, and 9.8% are eligible for free school meals. Facilities include a sports hall, gymnasium, playing fields, ICT suite, music rooms, a sensory room and a chapel. The school offers a range of clubs including coding, gardening, eco club and drama, and sports such as netball, gymnastics, tennis and athletics. SEND provision covers specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder and social, emotional and mental health support. This is a Church of England school with a strong local intake, suited to families who prioritise a faith-based setting and value the range of enrichment activities, but who should be aware that academic outcomes in writing and the combined KS2 measure sit below the local average.
