About Kettering Park Infant Academy

Kettering Park Infant Academy sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 61, but as an infant school taking children only from age 4 to 7, it doesn't publish KS2 results — its pupils move on before that benchmark. What stands out instead is the school's recent Ofsted trajectory. In its March 2024 graded inspection, it jumped from a Requires Improvement rating (received in February 2020) to a Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all scored 2. That's a significant turnaround in four years, and it places the school in a much stronger position locally, especially given that only two of the 111 primary schools in North Northamptonshire currently hold an Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding school, Greenfields Primary School and Nursery, is 2. 5 km away.
