State-funded schools in Kings Lynn and West Norfolk
78 schools listed by DfE GIAS, with current judgements from the Ofsted Feb 2026 Management Information snapshot. Among schools with a current legacy Ofsted 1-4 grade (62 of 78 here), 96.4% of pupils attend schools rated Good or Outstanding — combining full OEIF graded inspections and ungraded check-ins that confirmed the school remains at its last grade. A further 1 school (1.3% of the LA) has been re-inspected under Ofsted's new post-Sept-2024 report-card framework; those judgements appear separately on each school's row below.
The Last inspection column shows the most recent activity per school — graded inspection, check-in, or new-framework report card. Ofsted retired the single 1-4 grade in September 2024; new inspections produce multi-axis "report card" judgements (Leadership, Achievement, Curriculum, Behaviour, Personal development, Inclusion, Safeguarding) that aren't directly comparable to the legacy 1-4. Where a school has both an older 1-4 grade and a fresh report card, the 1-4 is shown for continuity but the report-card sub-judgments below it are the current finding. The "·" mark next to a grade indicates the value came from an ungraded check confirming the school's last full grade still applies.

How we sourced this
Indicators: Pay (ONS ASHE residence), house price (ONS HPSSA-9 median for England + Wales, UK HPI mean for Scotland), rent (ONS PIPR newly-signed lets for E+W, Scot Gov 2-bed advertised median for Scotland), council tax (MHCLG England + Welsh Gov Wales), crime (ONS PFA, E+W only), IMD (MHCLG IoD 2019, England only), school quality (Ofsted % of pupils in schools currently rated under the legacy 1-4 framework as Good or Outstanding, combining full OEIF grades with ungraded check-ins — England only. Schools re-inspected under Ofsted's new post-Sept-2024 report-card framework are excludedfrom this denominator and shown separately on each school's row).
Schools: joined from DfE GIAS edubasealldata snapshot (2026-05-13, the canonical UK school registry) with Ofsted's Management Information snapshot (Feb 2026, current grades and pupil counts). Coordinates converted from OSGB36 (British National Grid) to WGS84 using the standard Helmert 7-parameter transformation.
Editorial position: we surface the uncomfortable facts (knife crime per 1,000, IMD deprivation, Band D bills) alongside the affordability story. No estate-agent gloss. Where methodologies differ across UK nations (rents, deprivation, council tax) we disclose the difference rather than silently merging.
Some indicators show "—" for Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland because each nation publishes equivalents on a different methodology that explicitly cannot be cross-compared per official guidance.
