About Yelvertoft Primary School

Yelvertoft Primary School, a state primary in West Northamptonshire, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained since at least its previous inspection in 2012. The school’s 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 38%. This is notably below the local authority average of 63% for the 2023/24 academic year. The school’s ranking within West Northamptonshire places it at 123rd out of 134 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half nationally. However, the Ofsted report itself rated all areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — as Good, suggesting the school provides a solid foundation even if headline exam scores are lower than many local peers.
