About Filby Primary School

Filby Primary School sits in the bottom half of primary schools in Norfolk when it comes to the key headline measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2. The school’s score of 50% is just a shade below the local authority average of 52%, so it is broadly in line with the typical primary in the area rather than a standout performer. That said, the school is oversubscribed — 40 applications for 15 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 19 first-preference applications — which suggests local families see something they like. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a March 2023 inspection, is consistent with its previous Good rating from 2013, so there is a track record of solid quality. With 119 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is running slightly above its official limit, another sign of local demand.
