Fairstead Community Primary and Nursery School
King's Lynn, PE30 4RR · Norfolk · primary school
257th 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 — 0.7/10 against 2,429 of them, against 1.0/10 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 62% | 0.59 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 42.0% 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 (0.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently name any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.
Getting in. There are 429 pupils in a school with 446 places, leaving 17 spare spots. 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 are not meeting the expected standard in core subjects? What are the specific steps taken to improve attainment in reading and maths? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new families?
