About Northborough Primary School

Northborough Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 47% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the Peterborough local authority average of 59% and ranks it 40th out of 53 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. Within the East of England region, it sits at 1,261st out of 1,612 schools. While these figures show room for improvement, the school's upward trajectory in Ofsted terms is notable, and the leadership and management were also judged Good in the same inspection.
