About Kingsthorpe Village Primary School

Kingsthorpe Village Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a grade it has maintained across both its recent inspections. The school’s key academic metric is its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just one percentage point below the West Northamptonshire local authority average of 63%, placing the school in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 71st out of 147 primary schools in the area. While the school does not have Progress 8 scores available, its average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 106 in reading are both above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting pupils are performing solidly against age-related expectations. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading and maths is 31% in each subject, though only 7% achieve that in writing and just 3% across all three subjects combined.
