Framingham Earl High School

Norwich, NR14 7QP · Norfolk · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
6.5/10 Broadly average

11th of 53 secondary schools in Norfolk we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 842 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3/10 among them, against 7.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
