Bunwell Primary School
Norwich, NR16 1SN · Norfolk · primary school
276th 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 — 0.1/10 against 4,105 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 25.0 · 2 | 62% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 25.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. 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 (0.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Trust Cross Country, netball, tag rugby, cricket, and Norwich City Football Club community activities. Trips include Forest School, canoeing at Whitlingham, go karting at Eaton Vale, caving at Thorpe Woodlands, and exploring Thetford Forest. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 87 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 18 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who need extra help with reading or maths? How does the school ensure that the smaller class sizes are used to provide individualised learning?
