About Pulham Church of England Primary Academy

Pulham Church of England Primary Academy sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score is 52, but the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2025 judged its overall effectiveness as not judged, with a Requires Improvement rating for quality of education. That places it below the typical LA benchmark for primary schools, and notably, Norfolk has 21 outstanding primaries among 344 total — Pulham is not among them. The nearest outstanding alternative, Dickleburgh Church of England Primary Academy, is 4.8 km away, which may matter to families weighing their options. The school’s leadership and management were also rated Requires Improvement, though personal development and behaviour and attitudes both came out as Good. That split suggests a school where the pastoral side is stronger than the academic engine room, at least on the inspector’s most recent visit. Compared with its previous inspection in November 2022, when overall effectiveness was also Requires Improvement, the school has not moved the needle on its headline grade, and early years provision has slipped from Good to Requires Improvement.
