About Kelling CE Primary School

Kelling CE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in North Norfolk with just 50 pupils, and its headline metrics tell a story that is worth unpacking against the local authority average. The most recent Key Stage 2 data for Norfolk primary schools shows an average score of 52, but Kelling’s own KS2 results are not provided in the available data, so a direct comparison on that measure isn’t possible here. What we do know is that the school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, places it in the majority of Norfolk primaries — only 21 out of 344 schools in the LA have achieved Outstanding. Kelling has held a Good rating across both its most recent graded inspection (2014) and the 2023 ungraded visit, with leadership and management also rated Good. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 16 applications for just 8 places, with 8 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. That level of demand suggests local parents see something working well here, even if the raw academic data is thin.
