Astley Primary School
Melton Constable, NR24 2HH · Norfolk · primary school
216th of 283 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 344 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.5/10 against 2,900 of them, against 0.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 39.0 · 8 | 41% | 0.31 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.72 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Energy Club, Knit and Stitch, Sign Language, and Code/ICT. Sports include football, running, cricket, dance, netball, and swimming, alongside peripatetic music tuition. Trips to Bewilderwood and Cromer are offered. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 207 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children arriving without a breakfast club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 3 places remaining?
