Check the area around this school
152nd 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 3,348 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 2.6/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.42 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Terrington St Clement Community School
Overview
Terrington St Clement Community School is described as a "warm and welcoming place" where pupils are "valued" and behave well. The inspection confirms that the school continues to be a good school, offering a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that immerses pupils in exciting learning opportunities. Leaders provide effective support, and staff are proud of the high priority placed on their workload and well-being.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "high-quality pastoral care" which helps them feel "safe and happy".
- Reading development is a high priority, with staff delivering phonics "with precision" so pupils "quickly learn to read".
- The early years environment is "high-quality and stimulating", helping children settle quickly and develop important social skills.
- Staff "quickly identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)" and ensure they are "fully included in lessons".
- Governors provide "effective challenge and support to leaders" and fulfil their statutory responsibilities.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not always check what pupils already know "in enough depth", meaning they may miss gaps in knowledge or misconceptions.
- Consequently, teaching is not always adapted effectively to address these gaps, leaving pupils’ learning in some subjects "not as secure as it needs to be".
- The school needs to ensure staff are trained to use assessment effectively in all subjects to adapt teaching accordingly.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
