Hevingham Primary School

Norwich, NR10 5NH · Norfolk · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.0/10 Broadly average

76th 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 4,249 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 101 pupils in a capacity of 105, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since the results are slightly below the national median, what specific support is offered to pupils who are not reaching the expected standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating while addressing the gap in higher-standard attainment?
