The top 20 schools in Northamptonshire according to the latest league tables

The figures released by the Department for Education last week revealed that, nationally, around 200,000 pupils are not reaching the “required standard.”

A total of 676 schools in England - roughly one in 20 - failed to meet tough new targets imposed by the Government last year.

In a three mile radius around Northampton town centre only four reached the target of having 65 per cent of its pupils achieving the “expected standard” in reading, writing and maths on leaving primary school.

Across the county 49 of the 325 primary schools made the target, with The Bramptons primary school topping the list with 100 per cent of its pupils reaching the required standard.
