About Hawthorn Community Primary School

Hawthorn Community Primary School sits within the North Northamptonshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of similar schools, it placed 48th out of 90, placing it just inside the bottom half of the authority. The top-performing peers in the area — Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School — all scored notably higher on the same ranking metric, which is based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths at Key Stage 2. Hawthorn’s score of 60 on that metric puts it some way behind those leaders, though it’s worth noting that the school has made clear progress in its overall quality since its last graded inspection. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Greenfields Primary School and Nursery, just 0. 7 kilometres away, offering a nearby alternative for families prioritising that top grade.
