About Rudham CofE Primary Academy

Rudham CofE Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, with the latest ungraded visit in March 2025 confirming that standards are being maintained. The school's leadership and management were also judged Good. However, the academic outcomes picture is more mixed. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 22% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Norfolk local authority average of 52%. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure, ranking 55th out of 58 primary schools in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk area. Individual subject results show a starker contrast: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, but only 33% did so in maths and 39% in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing or maths combined.
