About Taverham VC CE Junior School

Taverham VC CE Junior School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and confirmed as unchanged during an ungraded visit in 2023. The most telling academic metric for this 7-11 primary is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: 63% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school 16th out of 35 primaries in the Broadland district. Digging deeper into the KS2 results, average scores in reading and maths both hit 106, while 79% of pupils met the expected standard in maths specifically and 77% in reading. The school also saw 35% of pupils achieve the higher standard in maths and 34% in reading, though writing at the higher level was lower at 11%. Nationally, the school sits around the midpoint, ranking 6,557th out of 13,686 primaries.
