Heacham Junior School
King's Lynn, PE31 7EJ · Norfolk · primary school
91st 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.3/10 against 2,101 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 98 pupils against a capacity of 120, leaving 22 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. With 22 places available, how does the school ensure new joiners integrate smoothly into existing class groups? Since the higher standard attainment is 4.0%, what specific support is offered to pupils aiming to exceed the expected standard? How does the school structure its day to support pupils who may need extra help with reading or writing?
