About Hainford VC Primary School

Hainford VC Primary School sits in the Broadland district of Norfolk, and its headline Key Stage 2 results offer a mixed picture against the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 53%, which is almost exactly in line with the Norfolk LA average of 52% for primary schools. That places it in the bottom half of schools nationally, at the 73rd percentile, and 25th out of 35 schools in Broadland. However, the school performs notably better in reading, where 71% of pupils met the expected standard and the average score reached 106. Maths is weaker, with 59% at the expected level and an average score of 103. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 12%, suggesting that while most children achieve the basics, stretching the most able remains a challenge. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 judged it Good overall, a significant improvement from its Requires Improvement rating in 2014.
