Check the area around this school
188th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.6/10 against 3,267 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The report describes a school where pupils "enjoy school" and "feel safe," supported by a "well-sequenced curriculum" and "positive relationships" with staff.

Strengths
- The curriculum is "well structured" with "clear sequences" that help pupils build knowledge in small steps.

- Early years provision is "ambitious, broad and well sequenced," preparing children effectively for Year 1.
Areas to improve
