Mixed Secondary
6.3/10 Broadly average

13th 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 829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.5/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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

Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 50.2 · 65 46% 3.01

Attainment 8 2024/25 49.2 · 67 15% 1.04

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 in 2023/24 was +0.14, indicating pupils did 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 4.5 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 1834 pupils in a capacity of 1892, leaving 58 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in Progress 8? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new intakes?
