Check the area around this school
57th of 281 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 343 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 3,547 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Langham Village School
Overview
Langham Village School is described as a small institution with "big ambitions" where pupils are "happy" and behave "exceptionally well." The report highlights an "ambitious curriculum" that nurtures confident learners, supported by strong leadership and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "tremendous respect" and are "enthusiastic learners" who listen attentively and eagerly engage in discussions.
- The curriculum is carefully constructed to build logically on prior knowledge, enabling pupils to "recall knowledge with ease" and apply it to complex problems.
- Reading is a priority; most children quickly gain sound knowledge, and those falling behind receive "swift support" to catch up.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well, with "exceptional" attendance and precise curriculum adaptations.
- Leaders provide high-quality training, resulting in "high levels of well-being among staff" and accurate self-evaluation of school performance.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum lacks sufficient knowledge of different world religions, meaning pupils are "not as well prepared as they could be for life in multicultural Britain and a global society."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that pupils are safe, understand how to stay safe, and know they can share concerns with adults.
