About Lingwood Primary Academy

Lingwood Primary Academy sits within the Norfolk local authority, in the Broadland borough, and is one of 344 primary schools in the county. When ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, it places 137th in Norfolk and 24th out of 35 schools within Broadland itself. That puts it in the bottom half of schools nationally, at the 72nd percentile. Among its local peers, the top-performing schools in the area are Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieved a perfect ranking score of 100, followed by Stalham Academy on 89. Lingwood’s score of 53 reflects a solid but not standout performance in the local landscape.
