About Wootton Primary School

Wootton Primary School has been rated Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant step up from its previous Good rating. The inspection, carried out in June 2025, awarded top marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, with early years provision also judged Outstanding. This places the school among just 11 primary schools in West Northamptonshire to hold the highest Ofsted grade. But the academic story goes further. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 79% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the local authority average of 63%. That result puts Wootton in the top 25% of primary schools nationally and ranks it 21st out of 134 schools in the local authority. Average scores in reading (108) and maths (106) also sit comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting solid foundations across the core subjects.
