About Falcon Junior School

Falcon Junior School in Broadland is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently educating 414 pupils against a capacity of 480. That leaves some headroom, but the school is comfortably full at 86% of its maximum. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23%, placing it in a context of above-average disadvantage for its local area. Despite this intake profile, the school has maintained a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in November 2022. The report gave top marks of Good across all four assessed categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. There is no oversubscription data in the admissions information, but the consistent Good rating and the school's position within a competitive local market suggest it remains a solid, steady choice for families in the Broadland area.
