About The Newton Community Primary School
The Newton Community Primary School is a primary school in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 52 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 33% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 17.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 100 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made The Newton Community Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 7 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.6%. There are about 14.4 pupils per teacher. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
