About Worstead Church of England Primary School

Worstead Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits almost exactly in line with the Norfolk local authority average, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against the LA average of 52%. That places the school 142nd out of 344 primary schools in the county, a solidly mid-table position. But dig into the individual subjects and a more nuanced picture emerges. Reading is a clear strength: 93% of pupils met the expected standard and 27% reached the higher standard, both well above typical local figures. Maths is also strong at 80% expected, though only 20% hit the higher threshold. Writing is the weaker link, with 60% at expected and just 7% at the higher level. The school’s overall ranking score of 53 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, but that single metric doesn’t capture the subject-level variation that parents will want to weigh.
