About Victoria Primary Academy

Victoria Primary Academy in North Northamptonshire is a state primary school for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Ian Pearson. With 413 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is essentially full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 academic year, there were 101 applications for just 54 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 87. Of those, 49 were first-preference offers, meaning nearly all first-choice families secured a spot, but competition remains strong. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage — 24. 5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This context matters when interpreting the school's academic results, as schools with higher FSM rates often face additional challenges in achieving top-tier outcomes.
