About Holt Community Primary School

Holt Community Primary School sits well below the Norfolk local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 32% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 52% for primary schools. That gap of 20 percentage points is significant, and it places Holt in the bottom half of schools nationally and regionally. The school ranks 230th out of 344 primary schools in Norfolk, and 23rd out of 30 in the North Norfolk district. While the headline figure is sobering, the breakdown shows some variation: 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 56% in writing, and 48% in maths. Reading scores averaged 101 and maths 99, both close to the national benchmark of 100, suggesting the combined figure is pulled down by weaker performance across all three subjects simultaneously.
