About Weston Favell CofE Primary School

Weston Favell CofE Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 66 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 63 per cent across West Northamptonshire. That three-point gap is modest but consistent, and the school’s ranking of 55th out of 147 primary schools in the LA places it comfortably in the top half. More striking is its Ofsted record: the school was judged Outstanding across every graded category in its February 2025 inspection, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This is a rare clean sweep — only 11 of the 147 primary schools in the LA currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school has maintained this standard since at least its previous inspection in 2014, which also awarded top marks across the board.
