About Millfield Primary School

Millfield Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit well below the Norfolk average, with 42% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a county average of 52%. That ten-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primaries nationally, ranking 18th out of 30 schools in the North Norfolk district and in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed by subject: 63% hit the expected level in reading and 58% in maths, but writing lagged behind at 47%. Higher-attaining pupils are scarce — only 13% achieved the higher standard in reading and maths, and none did so in writing. For parents focused on headline academic metrics, Millfield is not a standout performer, and the data suggests there is clear room for improvement in core skills.
