Poringland Primary School

About Poringland Primary School

Poringland Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Norfolk local authority average for primary schools, but the gap is narrower than you might expect for a school that is clearly popular with local families. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 59%, compared with a county average of 52%. That seven-point advantage is solid, though it places Poringland in the bottom half of schools nationally and at rank 95 out of 344 primary schools in Norfolk. Where the school really shines is in reading: 78% of pupils hit the expected standard and 37% reached the higher standard, both well above typical LA figures. Maths and writing are more mixed, with 70% and 76% at expected levels respectively, and the higher-standard rates for writing (13%) and maths (22%) are more modest. The school’s overall ranking score of 59 puts it in the bottom 50% tier nationally, but within South Norfolk it sits 22nd out of 54 primaries — a respectable mid-table position.
