About Wollaston Primary School

Wollaston Primary School sits within the North Northamptonshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. Among the 111 primary schools in the LA, it ranks 35th, placing it comfortably in the top half of local schools. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Wollaston’s own ranking score of 65 reflects solid, if not standout, performance. The school is led by headteacher Zoe Richards and has a non-religious character.
