About Sheringham Community Primary School

Sheringham Community Primary School sits slightly above the Norfolk local authority average for its key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, with 53% of pupils reaching that benchmark compared with the LA average of 52%. That marginal edge is worth noting, but the school’s real standout metric is its maths average scaled score of 107, which is comfortably above the national norm of 100, and 89% of pupils met the expected standard in maths alone. In reading, 80% hit the expected standard with an average score of 106. The picture is more mixed in writing, where only 58% met the expected standard and just 5% reached the higher standard. The school ranks 143rd out of 344 primary schools in Norfolk, placing it in the middle of the pack locally, and 12th out of 30 schools in the North Norfolk district.
