About Edmund de Moundeford VC Primary School, Feltwell

Edmund de Moundeford VC Primary School in Feltwell holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained across both its inspections. The school’s key academic metric for Year 6 pupils in the 2023/24 academic year is the proportion achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 58%. That figure sits above the Norfolk local authority average of 52% for primary schools, placing the school in a solid middle-ground position. Within the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk borough, it ranks 23rd out of 58 primary schools on this measure, putting it in the 40th percentile locally. Nationally, it sits in the 62nd percentile, meaning it outperforms a majority of primary schools across England on this combined benchmark. The Ofsted report noted Good ratings across all five categories inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.

Looking more closely at the individual subject results, writing had the highest proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard at 73%, followed by maths at 65% and reading at 62%. At the higher standard — working at greater depth — reading led with 35% of pupils, while maths had 27% and both writing and the combined measure had 15%. Average scaled scores were 103 in reading and 102 in maths, both slightly above the national baseline of 100. The school does not publish progress scores for any of the three core subjects, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. With 20.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, yet its combined expected standard result of 58% is six percentage points higher than the local authority average, suggesting effective teaching and support.

The school is a voluntary controlled Church of England primary with a Christian character, and it has a chapel on site alongside facilities including an art studio, gymnasium, library, sensory room and playing fields. It offers a range of sports such as gymnastics, cricket, dance and cross country, plus clubs including drama, science, film and book club. For pupils with special educational needs, the school supports six categories including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health, speech and language needs, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. Admissions for the 2025/26 year show the school is oversubscribed: 33 applications for 18 places, with 17 first-preference offers made from 17 first-preference applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83. This suggests strong local demand, and the school would suit families who value a Good-rated, inclusive village primary with a Christian ethos and a broad range of extracurricular activities.
