About St Peter and St Paul Church of England Primary Academy & Nursery
St Peter and St Paul Church of England Primary Academy & Nursery in Breckland stands out clearly against the Norfolk local authority average for primary schools. In the most recent Key Stage 2 assessments, 65% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of just 52%. That thirteen-point gap is a meaningful indicator of stronger-than-typical outcomes, and it places the school 5th out of 43 primaries in Breckland, putting it comfortably in the top tier locally. The school also performs well on the higher standard: 10% of pupils achieved greater depth across all three subjects, while in maths alone 35% reached that higher threshold. Reading and writing both saw 70% of children meet the expected level, and the average maths scaled score of 107 is notably solid. These results are backed by a Good Ofsted rating from the most recent graded inspection in 2019, with a subsequent ungraded visit in January 2025 confirming that standards have been maintained across all areas.
