About Cherry Tree Academy Trust Marham Junior

Cherry Tree Academy Trust Marham Junior has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That 2023 visit found leadership and management also Good, a notable improvement from the school's previous graded inspection in 2014, which rated overall effectiveness as Inadequate. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the RWM measure) in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments: 41% of pupils achieved this benchmark. That figure sits below the Norfolk local authority average of 52% for the same measure, and it places the school 205th out of 344 primary schools in the county. Nationally, Cherry Tree ranks in the bottom half of all schools on this metric, at the 90th percentile.
