About Taverham High School

Taverham High School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s Progress 8 score of 0.05 is the most telling academic metric, placing it above the Norfolk local authority average of -0.02. This means that, on average, pupils at Taverham achieve slightly better than their peers across the county when comparing similar starting points. The school ranks 3rd out of 7 secondary schools in Broadland on this measure, and sits in the top half nationally, at the 45th percentile. In the East of England region, it ranks 158th out of 350 schools. While the score is modest, it represents solid progress for students, particularly in mathematics where the Progress 8 score of 0.26 is notably stronger than the English score of -0.05.
