About Grange Primary Academy

Grange Primary Academy is a state primary school in North Northamptonshire, led by headteacher Christopher Latimer. It sits within a local authority that contains 111 primary schools, of which only two hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Grange itself is rated Good, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement, and its most recent ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school ranks 72nd out of 90 primaries in the LA on the key stage 2 reading, writing and maths expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half locally.
