About Oakley Vale Primary School

Oakley Vale Primary School sits within the North Northamptonshire local authority, where it ranks 40th out of 90 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the top half of the county, though some distance behind the highest-performing local peers: Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School all score in the 80s and 90s on the same metric. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. It is led by headteacher Sarah Sanders and currently operates at full capacity with 420 pupils. Just under 10% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 116 applications for 57 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of just over two applicants per place.
