Norbury School
About Norbury School
Norbury School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The most telling academic metric for this large Harrow primary is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 67% of pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school slightly below the Harrow local authority average of 72%, and ranks it 24th out of 38 primary schools in the borough. While not among the top performers locally, the school's results show a clear strength in reading, where 85% of pupils reached the expected standard and 35% achieved the higher standard. Maths also performed well, with 80% at the expected level and an average scaled score of 107, matching the reading average. Writing and the combined higher standard were tougher, with just 6% of pupils reaching the higher threshold in both.
