About Yardley Gobion Church of England Primary School

Yardley Gobion Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 59 per cent. That is slightly below the West Northamptonshire local authority average of 63 per cent, placing the school 84th out of 134 primary schools in the area and in the bottom 50 per cent nationally. On individual subjects, 76 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, while 71 per cent did so in maths. A small proportion reached the higher standard: 24 per cent in reading and 18 per cent in writing, but none in maths. The average scaled scores were 104 for reading and 103 for maths, both close to the national benchmark of 100.
