Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.2/10 Broadly average

42nd 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 4,272 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 69.0 · 63 40% 2.51
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 12.0 · 74 25% 1.85

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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0 out of 10 among them, against 6.7 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 406 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 74 spare spots. 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 do not reach the higher standard in maths? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2024 inspection?
