About Blenheim Park Academy

Blenheim Park Academy stands out sharply against the Norfolk local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 52%, Blenheim Park achieves 89% — a gap of 37 percentage points that places it second out of 30 schools in North Norfolk and in the top 5% nationally. This is a small school with just 68 pupils against a capacity of 157, yet its performance punches well above its size. The school has also improved significantly: in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 it earned a Good rating across all categories, a clear upgrade from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2020. The turnaround in leadership and management, now rated Good, appears to have driven this change. For parents in the area, this is a school that has demonstrably raised its game.
