About West Earlham Junior School

West Earlham Junior School is a mixed state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Norwich, and it is running very close to full capacity with 239 pupils against a school capacity of 240. That near-full roll is notable given the school’s intake profile: 52.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and signals a community with higher-than-average levels of disadvantage. The school does not have a religious character, and there is no nursery provision attached. The most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024 found that standards were maintained, and the school holds a Good rating overall. This represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement, and the earlier 2013 inspection also carried that lower rating. The leadership and management are also rated Good.
