About Aldborough Primary School
Aldborough Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in February 2025, with inspectors awarding Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year, where 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing Aldborough 36th out of 344 primary schools in the county. In reading, pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107, and in maths the average was 105, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school also saw 29% of pupils reach the higher standard in reading and 21% in maths, though no pupils reached that level in writing.
