About Kingsley Primary School

Kingsley Primary School in West Northamptonshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 420 children and currently houses 406, meaning it is running very close to full. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for just 59 places, making it officially oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 1.54. Of those applications, 63 were first-preference choices, and 58 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while demand is high, most families who put it first do get in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.8%, which is significantly above the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a catchment that serves a relatively high number of families facing economic disadvantage. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic results, as it suggests Kingsley is achieving solid outcomes despite a more challenging intake than many of its peers.
