About West Haddon Endowed Church of England Primary School

West Haddon Endowed Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the local authority average of 63% for West Northamptonshire, placing the school 19th out of 134 primary schools in the area and inside the top 25% nationally. Digging deeper into the individual subjects, 90% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, maths and writing separately, with average scaled scores of 110 in both reading and maths. At the higher standard, 20% of pupils achieved that top tier across all three subjects, while 60% did so in maths alone. The school’s overall ranking score of 80 reflects strong, consistent outcomes that put it among the better-performing primaries in the East Midlands region.

The Ofsted inspection from December 2024 was an ungraded visit, and inspectors confirmed that standards at the school are being maintained. Leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both rated Good in the previous graded inspection. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 98% of the 98 respondents to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 97% said their child is happy here. Strong majorities agreed that the school has high expectations (95%), that their child does well (98%), and that concerns are dealt with properly (57% strongly agreed). The school’s SEND provision also draws praise, with 93% of parents agreeing that children with special educational needs get the support they need. The school lists provisions for a range of needs including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder and physical disabilities.
