About Coltishall Primary School

Coltishall Primary School, a state primary in Broadland, Norfolk, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2013. The inspection judged the school Good across the board — quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — while Early Years Provision was rated Outstanding. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, and it places Coltishall 3rd out of 35 primary schools in Broadland, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 76 reflects strong core performance, though only 3% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, suggesting the school is particularly effective at getting children securely to the expected level rather than pushing a large proportion into the top tier.
