About Holly Meadows School

Holly Meadows School, a state primary in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, produces academic results that sit below the local authority average for its school type. In the most recent Key Stage 2 assessments, 48% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Norfolk average of 52%. That four-percentage-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the LA, ranked 172nd out of 344. The school’s national percentile ranking of 82 (meaning 82% of primaries nationally scored higher on this measure) reinforces the picture of a school that is broadly in line with the lower end of the regional spread rather than a standout performer. However, the data also shows that individual subject scores are more mixed: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and in maths, and 71% did so in writing, suggesting that the combined figure is pulled down by a smaller proportion of pupils hitting the target across all three subjects simultaneously.
