How the new report cards work
Since November 2025 Ofsted grades each area of a school (achievement, teaching, behaviour, personal development, inclusion, leadership) on a five-point scale: exceptional, strong standard, expected standard, needs attention, urgent improvement. Safeguarding is met or not met. Across the 7 North Norfolk report cards so far, the grades given were: expected standard 35 times, needs attention 8 times, strong standard 2 times, urgent improvement 2 times.
Schools inspected before then have a single grade (outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate), or from September 2024 a grade for each area without an overall one. Short “ungraded” visits check a school is still at its last grade.
Where the figures come from
Ofsted publishes the latest inspection of every state-funded school each month, under the Open Government Licence. We keep those at NR and PE postcodes and show here the ones in North Norfolk. Independent schools and childminders aren’t included. Each school links to its full report on the Ofsted website.
