Scarning Voluntary Controlled Primary School
About Scarning Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Scarning Voluntary Controlled Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2014, and an ungraded inspection in February 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when the school was judged to require improvement. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is slightly below the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school 159th out of 344 primary schools in the county. In the Breckland district, it ranks 21st out of 43 schools on this measure, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. Only 3% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, though individual subject scores were more encouraging: 70% met expectations in writing, 64% in reading, and 59% in maths.
