About St Martha's Catholic Primary School

St Martha's Catholic Primary School sits within the Norfolk local authority, in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and ranks 10th out of 58 primary schools in that borough for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That puts it comfortably in the top 20 per cent of its immediate local area. Across the wider Norfolk authority, where there are 344 primary schools, it places 54th. The top-performing peers in the same local authority — Surlingham Primary School, Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy, and Ashleigh Primary School and Nursery, Wymondham — all score higher on the same ranking metric, but St Martha's holds its own as a strong option for Catholic families in the region. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Eastgate Academy, 1.9 km away, which gives parents a direct local benchmark when weighing up their choices.
