About Olympic Primary

Olympic Primary sits in North Northamptonshire, a local authority with 111 primary schools where only two currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 16th in the LA, placing it comfortably in the top 25% of primaries locally. Its closest competitors by ranking score are Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School, all of which sit above it in the league table. Still, Olympic Primary’s position is strong — it outperforms the vast majority of schools in the area, and its standing is a clear indicator of consistent quality. The school is led by headteacher Martin Hunter and caters for children from age 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is a mixed, non-religious state school with 359 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, so there is some room for growth. Oversubscription is notable: for 2025/26 entry, 63 families applied for 26 places, a ratio of 2. 42 applicants per spot, and all 23 first-preference applicants received offers.
