About South Wootton Junior School

South Wootton Junior School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school has held a Good rating across both its ungraded inspection in 2023 and its graded inspection in 2016, with leadership and management also judged Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 57%. That is five percentage points above the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally. However, only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths, and the same low figure applies to writing at the higher level. Maths and reading average scores both sit at 105, while 77% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 72% in reading.
