About Walpole Cross Keys Primary School

Walpole Cross Keys Primary School sits in a curious position relative to the Norfolk local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 52%, and Walpole Cross Keys lands just below that at 50%. That is a narrow gap, but the school’s performance on the higher standard tells a starker story: zero per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, compared with a reading higher standard of 13% and maths higher of 25%. So while the school is broadly in line with the local average for expected standards, it is not pushing many children into the top tier. Its Progress 8 scores are missing from the data, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest a mixed picture.
