About Lumbertubs Primary School

Lumbertubs Primary School sits right on the West Northamptonshire average for the key KS2 benchmark, with 62% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with the local authority average of 63%. That places it 72nd out of 147 primary schools in the area, a solidly mid-table position. But the school's real story is one of improvement. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, it jumped from a Requires Improvement rating to Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years provision all scored Good. That's a significant turnaround from the previous inspection in 2018, when both leadership and overall effectiveness were rated Requires Improvement. With 32.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, the school is serving a relatively disadvantaged community, making this improvement all the more notable.
