About Morley Church of England Primary Academy

Morley Church of England Primary Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Norfolk local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 37% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 52%. That 15-point gap is significant, and it places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in South Norfolk, ranked 45th out of 54. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 10% of schools on this measure. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 53% in writing, but maths was weaker at 53% expected. Only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s overall ranking score of 37 out of 100 reflects a clear challenge in academic outcomes compared with its peers.
