Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.0/10 Broadly average

51st of 281 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 343 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.1/10 against 3,249 of them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Academy

Inspection report dated 12 June 2024

Overview

All Saints Academy is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, marking an improvement from its previous ‘Requires improvement’ judgement. The report highlights a ‘well-structured curriculum’ that prepares pupils effectively for the next stage of education, supported by staff who are generally expert in their subjects. Pupils are described as enthusiastic, well-behaved, and proud of their work, benefiting from a positive school culture that emphasises kindness and high expectations.

Strengths

  • The curriculum is ‘exciting and ambitious’, clearly defining the knowledge pupils should learn and when.
  • Staff in most subjects have the expertise to teach well, using regular assessments to identify and address learning gaps quickly.
  • Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same curriculum and ‘achieve well from their starting points’.
  • Reading is prioritised, with early readers given books matching the sounds they are learning, helping all pupils make progress.
  • Pupils enjoy a wide range of enrichment opportunities, including clubs, visits, and roles such as school council representatives.

Areas to improve

  • In a few subjects, the curriculum is at an ‘earlier stage of development’, with staff subject knowledge being ‘less well developed’.
  • Teachers in these areas do not always provide work that builds on previous learning or check for misunderstandings effectively.
  • The school must ensure staff are trained to deliver the curriculum and use assessment effectively in all subjects so pupils achieve consistently well.

Safeguarding

The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
