About Heacham Junior School

Heacham Junior School was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. The school’s strongest academic signal comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school 31st out of 344 primary schools in the county. In the more local King’s Lynn and West Norfolk area, Heacham ranks 2nd out of 58 schools, putting it in the top 25% nationally. These results suggest a school that is performing consistently above the norm for its region.
