Swanton Abbott Community Primary School
Norwich, NR10 5DZ · Norfolk · primary school
97th of 283 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 344 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 — 3.7/10 against 3,672 of them, against 4.1/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 57 pupils in a building with 102 places, leaving 45 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the current 46.0% attainment rate and the national median of 64%? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils during the school day? How does the small class size influence the daily teaching approach?
