With Ofsted no longer publishing single-word ratings, The Telegraph has created a new secondary school league table for 2025.
This ranking uses a unique 40-point scoring system built on 10 key indicators, including exam results, class sizes, and pupil progress. It allows parents to see how schools in and around Northampton compare against national standards, and to make confident, informed choices.
The schools listed achieved a rating of ‘Very Good’, ‘Good’ or ‘Fair.
Data is from the 2023-24 academic year.
