About Pulham Church of England Primary Academy

Pulham Church of England Primary Academy is a primary school in Diss, Norfolk, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. Around 109 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 33% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 13.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 97 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Pulham Church of England Primary 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. 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.
