Hobart High School
Norwich, NR14 6JU · Norfolk · secondary school
17th of 53 secondary schools in Norfolk we can score. 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 — 6.8/10 against 932 of them, against 6.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.0 · 65 | 30% | 1.94 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.19 · 64 | 25% | 1.60 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.1 · 52 | 10% | 0.52 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.19 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Art, Science, Code, Games, and Pride Clubs, plus Hobart Changemakers and an Allotment Club. Sports include netball, football, swimming, and basketball. Arts provision covers choir, instrumental lessons, bands, and music groups. Trips range from residential visits to France and Iceland to World War One battlefields and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 697 pupils in a capacity of 820, leaving 123 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 who need extra help in English and maths? What specific support is available for students aiming for Duke of Edinburgh awards? How does the after-school club structure its activities?
