About Kings Sutton Primary Academy

Kings Sutton Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous rating of Inadequate in 2019. The school received Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. However, when it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the picture is more mixed. Just 33% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63% for West Northamptonshire. This places the school at 130th out of 134 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. In individual subjects, 50% reached the expected standard in reading and 67% in writing, while maths was lower at 50%. The average scaled scores were 100 for reading and 99 for maths, both slightly below the national benchmark of 100.
