Surlingham Primary School

School overview

Surlingham Primary School is a primary school serving Norwich, Norfolk, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led. It has 59 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Surlingham Primary School 'Good'. 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 fallen by 11.0 percentage points compared with 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 among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 22% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 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.
