About Winterton Primary School and Nursery

Winterton Primary School and Nursery holds a Requires Improvement rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2018. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more encouraging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 78% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Norfolk local authority average of 52% for the same measure, and it places Winterton second out of 27 primary schools in the Great Yarmouth area. The school also ranks in the top 25% nationally for this metric. While the overall Ofsted rating may give some parents pause, the exam data suggests that pupils here are achieving solid results, particularly in reading, where the average scaled score reached 107.
