About Rockingham Primary School

Rockingham Primary School is a primary school in Corby, North Northamptonshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 376 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 60% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 12.0 percentage points year on 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 102 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% 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 Rockingham Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 54 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 23.5 pupils per teacher. Rockingham Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
