Taverham High School
Norwich, NR8 6HP · Norfolk · secondary school
18th of 53 secondary schools in Norfolk we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 826 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 6.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.0 · 71 | 30% | 2.12 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.05 · 54 | 25% | 1.35 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.0 · 66 | 10% | 0.66 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted following an inspection in 2023. In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.05 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4 out of 10 among them, against 6.4 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. There are 1241 pupils in a school with 1249 places, leaving 8 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 8 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is offered to help pupils reach their potential? How does the school ensure students have access to extracurricular opportunities despite the lack of named activities?
