Studfall Junior Academy
About Studfall Junior Academy
Studfall Junior Academy is a state primary for ages 7 to 11 in North Northamptonshire, and its intake reflects a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. With 462 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, the school is running close to full, though it is not oversubscribed to the point of turning families away. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29. 4%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a catchment with significant economic need. The school is mixed gender and has no religious character, so it draws from a broad local base. The headteacher is Louise McGeachie, who has been in post since at least the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. The school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so its focus is squarely on the junior years.
