Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
1.1/10 Well below average

255th 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 4,349 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 50.0% 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 August 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a beach school trip and can join a breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 49 pupils in a building with 98 places, leaving 49 spare spots. 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 raise attainment from 50.0% to the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the small class size impact individual pupil progress?
