About Millway Primary School

Millway Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline results against the West Northamptonshire average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 63 per cent, but Millway’s figure is 58 per cent — five points below. That gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 76 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in reading (against a typical LA benchmark that tends to hover higher), 81 per cent in maths, and 68 per cent in writing. The school’s ranking within the local authority reflects this — it sits 91st out of 147 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half. Nationally, it lands around the 60th percentile, so it’s not an outlier, but it’s clearly not among the strongest performers in the area. The most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2024, rated the school Good overall and Good across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. That’s the same rating it held in its previous inspection back in 2013, so there’s stability, but no sign of a push toward Outstanding.
