Horning Community Primary School
About Horning Community Primary School
Horning Community Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24, where 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing Horning 162nd out of 344 primary schools in the county. In the North Norfolk district specifically, the school ranks 15th out of 30, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. The picture is mixed by subject: reading saw 67% of pupils reach the expected level, while maths and writing both sat at 50%. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects, and average scaled scores in reading and maths were both 99, slightly below the national benchmark of 100.
