About St Norbert's Catholic Voluntary Academy

St Norbert's Catholic Voluntary Academy is a primary school in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 110 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 81% 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 14.0 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 in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Norbert's Catholic Voluntary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 11 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 21.4 pupils per teacher. St Norbert's Catholic Voluntary Academy 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.
