About Rothersthorpe Church of England Primary School

Rothersthorpe Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which was an ungraded visit in 2025 that confirmed standards are being kept up. The most telling academic metric for this small village primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 75%. That figure places the school comfortably above the West Northamptonshire local authority average of 63% and earns it a spot in the top 25% of primary schools nationally. In the local rankings, it sits 29th out of 134 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the top quarter of its peers. The school's average reading score of 106 and maths score of 103 both exceed the national benchmark of 100, and a quarter of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading and writing respectively.
