About Tivetshall Community Primary School

Tivetshall Community Primary School is a small state primary in South Norfolk, and its most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision also judged Good. That puts it in line with the majority of Norfolk primary schools, though the local authority has 21 schools rated Outstanding out of 344 total. The school’s previous inspection had rated it Requires Improvement, so the improvement to Good is a clear step forward. However, the school’s headline academic metrics are not available in the data, so it’s not possible to compare its KS2 scores against the Norfolk LA average of 52. What stands out instead is the school’s size and intake: with just 16 pupils on roll against a capacity of 49, and 62.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, Tivetshall serves a notably disadvantaged community. This context makes its Good rating all the more significant, as small rural schools with high FSM often face additional challenges.
