School profile
When Ofsted visited in 2015 it found a smaller than average 11–16 comprehensive school serving a rural area of Norfolk. It was judged to be good. Most of the students were White British and the proportion of students who come from minority ethnic groups is well below average. The proportion of students for whom English is an additional language was very low: there were few disadvantaged students entitled or eligible for free school meals. The school met the government’s floor standards for students’ attainment and progress.[4]
