Swanton Abbott Community Primary School
About Swanton Abbott Community Primary School
Swanton Abbott Community Primary School punches well above the local average in its core academic metrics. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Norfolk local authority average of just 52% for primary schools. That is a 31 percentage point gap in the school’s favour, placing it 4th out of 30 primary schools in North Norfolk and inside the top 10% nationally. The school also outperforms on the higher standard: 8% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, while a quarter hit the higher mark in maths specifically. Reading and writing both saw 83% of pupils at the expected level, with maths slightly ahead at 92%. Average scaled scores of 107 in maths and 106 in reading are solid, though the school does not publish progress scores, so it is not possible to say how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points.
