About Ashleigh Primary School and Nursery, Wymondham

Ashleigh Primary School and Nursery in Wymondham holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in June 2024 that found the school continues to meet that standard. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in 2018, awarded Outstanding across the board — for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision — a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2011. But the strongest evidence of academic strength lies in its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 school year. An impressive 89% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the national average. That figure places Ashleigh third out of 54 primary schools in South Norfolk, and in the top five per cent nationally. The school also excels at stretching its pupils: 30% achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, while 56% hit the higher bar in maths and 52% in reading.
