Sheringham High School
Sheringham, NR26 8ND · Norfolk · secondary school
28th of 53 secondary schools in Norfolk we can score. 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 — 4.9/10 against 924 of them, against 4.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 46.0 · 56 | 30% | 1.67 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.19 · 36 | 25% | 0.89 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.1 · 58 | 10% | 0.58 |
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, 46.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.19 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023.
Getting in. The school has 688 pupils in a capacity of 870, leaving 182 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 to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific steps are being taken to improve Progress 8 scores? How does the current class size affect individual attention for students?
