About Mulbarton Primary School

Mulbarton Primary School sits within the Norfolk local authority, a large county with 344 primary schools where just 21 currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. In the South Norfolk district specifically, the school ranks 36th out of 54 primaries when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That places it in the bottom half of its immediate area, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at the wider local landscape. Among its top-performing peers in the authority are Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieve the maximum ranking score of 100, and Stalham Academy with a score of 89. Mulbarton’s own ranking score of 49 reflects a school that is solidly mid-table rather than a standout performer, but one that serves its community with consistency.
