About Pattishall Church of England Primary School

Pattishall Church of England Primary School sits within the West Northamptonshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. It is one of 147 primary schools in the area, but ranks 128th among them, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include Helmdon Primary School and Greatworth Primary School, both of which achieve a perfect ranking score of 100, and The Bramptons Primary School with a score of 93. This means Pattishall is some way behind the strongest local options, though it still holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2012. The school is relatively small, with 139 pupils against a capacity of 189, and it has a Church of England religious character, which may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting.
