Helmdon Primary School
About Helmdon Primary School
Helmdon Primary School has been rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2012 and 2024 graded inspections. But the real story is in the exam data. Every single child in Year 6 reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — a perfect 100 per cent. That puts the school at number one in West Northamptonshire, comfortably ahead of the local authority average of 63 per cent. Nationally, it ranks 44th out of nearly 14,000 primary schools. The school also excels at stretching its pupils: 92 per cent achieved the higher standard in maths, 75 per cent in reading, and 17 per cent in both writing and the combined measure. Average scaled scores of 114 in maths and 113 in reading are well above the national benchmark of 100.
