Check the area around this school
116th 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 4,190 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Seething and Mundham Primary School
Overview
The report states that the school has “rapidly improved” since its previous inspection, with leaders demonstrating a “very clear and highly ambitious vision.” Pupils are described as “happy and safe,” exhibiting “exemplary” behaviour and a strong love for learning, particularly through the school’s focus on nature.
Strengths
- Behaviour is “exemplary,” with pupils being “polite, thoughtful and care for each other.”
- There is “excellent provision for pupils with SEND,” supported by highly skilled staff and effective liaison with external experts.
- The early years provision is outstanding, with children making an “exceptional start” to their education through “fun and engaging” activities.
- Governance is “exceptionally strong,” with the trust providing “highly effective support and training.”
- The school has been “highly successful in raising pupils’ attendance and reducing persistent absence.”
Areas to improve
- The organisation of the early reading curriculum hinders some pupils from learning phonics as effectively as they could, as some do not receive “well-timed opportunities to take their next steps” or sufficient time to practise.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
