Harpley CofE VC Primary School at a glance

Located in King's Lynn, Norfolk, Harpley CofE VC Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 56 pupils aged 4 to 11.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Harpley CofE VC 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.
