Every child who put Badby School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Badby School

Badby School is a primary school in Badby, West Northamptonshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 192 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 57% 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 fallen by 10.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% 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 Badby School their first choice was offered one of its 17 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 4% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Badby 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.
