About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, Swaffham

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Swaffham received an Inadequate rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2024. This is the lowest possible grade, and the report paints a mixed picture. While inspectors rated personal development as Good, the quality of education was judged Inadequate, and both behaviour and attitudes, along with leadership and management, were rated Requires improvement. The early years provision was also marked as Requires improvement. For a school of just 89 pupils, these findings are significant. The school’s capacity is 210, meaning it is operating well below its potential, and 37.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably higher than the national average. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2, which stands at 52 per cent achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Sacred Heart’s own KS2 results are not provided in the data, but the LA average offers a useful benchmark for parents to investigate further.
