About Norton Church of England Primary School

Norton Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in Tewkesbury is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 58%. That figure is almost exactly in line with the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, placing the school in a solidly middle-of-the-road position. In the Tewkesbury ranking of 24 primary schools, Norton comes 17th, and nationally it sits in the bottom half of all primary schools on this measure. The school’s capacity of 112 is currently exceeded by 150 pupils on roll, a clear sign of local demand.
