Mixed Primary
1.2/10 Well below average

250th 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 3,685 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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 St. Clements Hill Primary Academy

Inspection report dated 21 July 2025

Overview

St. Clements Hill Primary Academy is described as a place where pupils are happy, feel part of a "caring school community," and enjoy learning because teachers make lessons "interesting and fun." The school has successfully addressed previous inspection concerns, with standards rising and a curriculum that is "carefully sequenced" to help pupils retain knowledge.

Strengths

  • Pupils benefit from "exceptionally strong support" for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with robust systems ensuring individual needs are met.
  • Reading provision is effective; children learn phonics rapidly in Reception, and most become "fluent readers by the end of Year 2," often choosing to read for pleasure.
  • Teachers possess "strong subject knowledge" due to effective training, and staff pride themselves on a "strong teamwork ethos" and support for well-being.
  • Behaviour is "usually calm and orderly," with suspensions reducing as pupils value rewards and reflect on their actions.
  • The school offers varied enrichment activities, including the "St Clement’s 60 Experiences," which provide opportunities in sports, arts, and outdoor skills.

Areas to improve

  • Pupils "lack opportunities to make a positive contribution to the wider local community" and do not know enough about the needs and context of the area the school serves.

Safeguarding

The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
