Colby Primary School at a glance

Located in Norwich, Norfolk, Colby Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 146 pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 41% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Colby Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
