Norbury Primary School and Nursery

School overview

Norbury Primary School and Nursery is a primary school serving Bishops Castle, Shropshire, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. It has 76 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. 89% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 18.0 percentage points year on 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 among the top 11% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112 in reading and 111 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 4% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Norbury Primary School and Nursery 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.
