Henderson Green Primary Academy
Norwich, NR5 8DX · Norfolk · primary school
238th 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 — 3.8/10 against 1,191 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.66 |
| 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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art, Craft, Cooking, Film, and Theatre Clubs, or take part in Ballet, Jazz, and West End Kids. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 162 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 48 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 support pupils to reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teaching time?
