About Forncett St Peter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Forncett St Peter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a change from its previous Outstanding grade in 2014. The inspection report rated every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. When it comes to the most telling exam metric, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year tell a mixed story. While 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, none did so in writing or in the combined reading, writing and maths measure. The maths expected standard was 41%, and the average maths score was 98, slightly below the national benchmark of 100. Reading scores fared better, with an average of 101 and 12% of pupils reaching the higher standard. These outcomes place the school at the bottom of the rankings within South Norfolk, ranking 54th out of 54 primary schools in the local authority.
