About Hempnall Primary School
Hempnall Primary School is a primary school in Norwich, Norfolk, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 163 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 64% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 5.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Hempnall Primary School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 25 first choices for 20 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 17.7 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
