Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
2.8/10 Below average

190th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 847 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Nature, Library, Choir, and Computer Clubs, play football, badminton, multisport, futsal, and netball, and visit Kingswood, the Sealife Centre, and Norwich Castle. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 283 pupils in a building with 360 places, leaving 77 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 missed the expected standard in maths? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care before the school day starts?
