Walsingham CE VA Primary School
WALSINGHAM, NR22 6DU · Norfolk · primary school
280th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.5/10 against 362 of them, against 0.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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) 2023/24 | 25.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.07 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 2023/24, 25.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 63%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.5 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a KS2 reading club, EYFS/KS1 colouring and crafts, and football. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 26 pupils in a building with 56 places, leaving 30 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 have not yet reached the expected standard in literacy? What specific strategies are in place to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after the school day ends?
