Colby Primary School
Norwich, NR11 7EA · Norfolk · primary school
57th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 6.1/10 nationally. 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir, play recorders and handbells, and participate in the Norfolk Big Sing. Sports include Tag Rugby, Athletics, Dodgeball, Gymnastics, Dance, Cricket, Hockey, and Swimming. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 140 pupils in a capacity of 150, leaving 10 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What are the plans for the 2022 inspection follow-up? How do parents manage the lack of an after-school club?
