About Hazel Leys Academy
Hazel Leys Academy, a state primary in North Northamptonshire, was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2018, and a subsequent ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 64%. That is three percentage points above the local authority average of 61%, placing the school 36th out of 90 primaries in North Northamptonshire. The school’s strongest individual subject is writing, where 79% of pupils met the expected standard, followed by reading at 75% and maths at 68%. At the higher standard, reading leads again at 25%, while maths and writing both sit at 18% and 7% respectively. Average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 104 in maths are solid, though the school has no published progress scores to show how much value it adds from pupils’ starting points.
