Tuckswood Academy
About Tuckswood Academy
Tuckswood Academy’s headline KS2 results tell a mixed story when set against the Norfolk local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 51%, just a whisker below the LA average of 52%. That puts the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Norwich, ranked 13th out of 22, and in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. In reading, 71% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 102 is solid. Maths tells a slightly different tale: 63% reached the expected level, with an average score of 101. Where the school really struggles is at the higher end — just 7% of pupils achieved a higher standard in maths, and none did so in writing. So while Tuckswood broadly keeps pace with local averages for core skills, it clearly has work to do stretching its most able pupils.
