Schools in Norfolk
462 schools across 46 towns
Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 175 of 462 schools here that have a published grade.
Norfolk has 462 schools across 46 towns — 342 primary, 51 secondary, educating around 122,125 pupils. 81% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (142 of 175).
