About Grendon Church of England Primary School

Grendon Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in North Northamptonshire, a local authority where just two of 111 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Grendon itself was previously rated Outstanding in 2013, but its most recent graded inspection in November 2024 saw it settle at Good across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. That places it fourth out of 90 primary schools in the local authority rankings, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. It sits just behind the top three local peers: Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School. With a capacity of exactly 108 pupils and a current roll of 108, the school is full, and its Church of England character gives it a distinct identity within the local primary landscape.
