About Docking Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery

Docking Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2014. The school’s most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where just 38% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school 45th out of 58 primary schools in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk area and in the bottom 50 nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, 63% in writing, and 56% in maths, with average scaled scores of 102 in both reading and maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was 6%, while 13% achieved it in reading and maths individually.
