Great Hockham Primary School and Nursery
Thetford, IP24 1PB · Norfolk · primary school
64th 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 4,281 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.6/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.21 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 65.0% 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. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2026 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lego building, corn dolly making, washi-tape crafts, maths challenges, top-trumps, reading club, Sewing Club, and Woodland club. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 109 pupils in a capacity of 117 places, leaving 8 spare spots. 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 specific activities are included in the Woodland club? How does the school manage the transition for the 8 remaining places?
