Tacolneston Church of England Primary Academy
Norwich, NR16 1AL · Norfolk · primary school
141st 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,092 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.9/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9 out of 10 among them, against 2.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Lego building, slime sensory play, magnet shapes construction, cookery, painting, Hama beads, den building, and hexbug mazes, alongside mini trampoline sessions. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 87 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 18 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 who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the small class size affect individual teaching time?
