About South End Junior School

South End Junior School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the North Northamptonshire average of 61%. That seven-point gap places the school 26th out of 90 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top third locally and the top 36% nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was judged to require improvement. Leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, are now rated Good. For parents weighing up options in this part of the East Midlands, the data suggests a school that is performing reliably above the typical local benchmark, without being among the very highest scorers in the authority.
