About Horton CofE VA Primary School

Horton CofE VA Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2020, with a subsequent ungraded visit in April 2025 confirming that standards are being maintained. That 2020 inspection awarded Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. It is worth noting that the school’s previous graded inspection, back in 2013, rated it Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a step down, but the inspectors’ latest ungraded check found no cause for concern. With just 33 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, this is a very small primary, and the most telling academic metric is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 61 for similar schools. While Horton’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, the context suggests that families considering the school should look closely at its published SATs outcomes to see how it compares with that LA benchmark.
