About Norwell CofE Primary School

Norwell CofE Primary School is a primary school in Newark, Nottinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 51 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 100% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 25.0 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 among the top 18% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Norwell CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 13 families who put it first were offered a place. Norwell CofE 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 above.
