Greyfriars Academy
Kings Lynn, PE30 5PY · Norfolk · primary school
277th 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 — 0.3/10 against 1,772 of them, against 0.6/10 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 | 31.0 · 3 | 40% | 0.13 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| 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, 31.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in March 2024. 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 (0.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dodgeball, Art, Music, Science, Ukulele, and Swimming clubs, and participate in football, gymnastics, and the King’s Lynn Junior Parkrun. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 204 pupils in a capacity of 304 places, leaving 100 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 plan to improve attainment in maths to close the gap with the national median? What specific actions are being taken following the 2024 Ofsted inspection? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual pupil support?
