About Narborough Church of England Primary Academy

Narborough Church of England Primary Academy sits in an interesting position compared with the Norfolk primary average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is six percentage points above the local authority average of 52%. That gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school 102nd out of 344 primary schools in Norfolk, putting it comfortably in the top third of the county. The school’s ranking score of 58 places it in the bottom half nationally, but that’s a broad metric and doesn’t tell the full story. What stands out more is the spread of individual subject results: 83% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 75% did so in both reading and maths. Average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 104 in maths are exactly in line with the national average of 100, so the school is delivering solid, middle-of-the-road outcomes rather than exceptional highs or worrying lows.
