About St Andrew's Church of England Primary School

St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School sits within the North Northamptonshire local authority, where it ranks 57th out of 90 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, though the picture is more nuanced than a single rank suggests. The top-performing peers in the area — Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School — all score notably higher on the same metric, but St Andrew’s has a distinctive character that sets it apart. It is a Church of England school with a nursery provision, serving 356 pupils against a capacity of 315, meaning it is oversubscribed. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2023 rated it Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in January of the same year. That turnaround, particularly in leadership and management, which jumped from Inadequate to Good, suggests a school that has addressed fundamental weaknesses quickly and effectively.
