About Great Massingham CofE Primary School

Great Massingham CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent graded inspection in September 2024, inspectors awarded Good across all four key areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school's most informative exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, which tell a more mixed story. While 82% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, well above the national average, only 27% did so in writing and 55% in maths. The combined measure of reading, writing and maths at the expected standard sits at 27%, which is significantly below the Norfolk local authority average of 52%. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this metric, ranking 239th out of 344 similar schools in the county.
